RE: WHAT THE HEALTH?? Scientists Discover a 'New' Human Organ~ The INTER-what!?
This is why I love science! There is always something new to be discovered. Dictionary.com told me an organ is "a part of an organism that is typically self-contained and has a specific vital function, such as the heart or liver in humans. It sounds to me like interstitium fits that description. Granted, we aren't 100% sure if we're correctly guessing it's function. We'll have to wait and see!
Yeah, it sounds as though the interstitium may provide a vast array of functions which could be beneficial for us and our bodies, as a whole. The fact that it spans across, through and between all of our other vital organs that we so heavily rely on in order to maintain proper homeostatic balance tells me that we could really be onto something more here.
The topic is still up for debate, however, and controversy remains high, but it sounds as though this is a step in the right direction in terms of debunking any doubtful or questionable understandings which remain present.
only time will tell, but I think the future of this discovery remains bright!!
Steem on :)
