I too wonder how much more of the human body there is to discover. We really are a complex species and there are lots of things we have yet to know about our own brains.<br /><br />-Sunaina Sharma (3)Peter Houlihanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961900865379520219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008122866340502585.post-14916365016762898592018-04-01T12:30:25.160-07:002018-04-01T12:30:25.160-07:00I agree it is a very exciting discovery!

I wonder what kind of screening methods we will develop to observe the interstitium and which diseases we know of that involve it. <br />-Brooke Sullivan (3)Peter Houlihanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961900865379520219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008122866340502585.post-12105901492135102742018-04-01T12:25:06.851-07:002018-04-01T12:25:06.851-07:00I agree!

When I first saw the title "new organ discovered" I was highly skeptical, you would think after centuries of medical research humanity would have a pretty complete understanding of the inner workings of the human body. <br />-Brooke Sullivan (3)Peter Houlihanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961900865379520219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008122866340502585.post-47461791185871328292018-04-01T12:21:23.866-07:002018-04-01T12:21:23.866-07:00I agree it is amazing to think about how little we...I agree it is amazing to think about how little we know! I believe you are right that is is the interstitial fluid. <br />-Brooke SullivanPeter Houlihanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961900865379520219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008122866340502585.post-68379520972885414382018-03-30T19:02:39.867-07:002018-03-30T19:02:39.867-07:00This is really awesome!

This is what I love about medicine, you can never know everything; it is never boring. I am hopeful that this discovery can help us find new ways to defeat cancer. Is that fluid interstitial fluid?<br /><br />Posted by Sarah KamukalaPeter Houlihanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961900865379520219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008122866340502585.post-65344912843041030522018-03-30T17:18:01.852-07:002018-03-30T17:18:01.852-07:00Very interesting, I first heard about the intersti...Very interesting, I first heard about the interstitium in a twitter highlight the other day. It's crazy how big of a discovery this is, considering it took us so long to make it. This really just shows us why the phrase "practicing medicine" is used. <br /><br />-Michael Magnant (1)Peter Houlihanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961900865379520219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008122866340502585.post-69525999026602374582018-03-30T08:24:08.217-07:002018-03-30T08:24:08.217-07:00Wow, this is really fascinating. Like you said, it...Wow, this is really fascinating. Like you said, it's easy to think that we already understand a good majority of the workings of the human body, but in reality, there's still so much we still don't know! Like are there any other organs that we don't know about? It's crazy to me that this organ has been right beneath our noses this whole time and we are only just discovering it. It makes sense, however, that traditional slicing of tissue to create slides prevents us from observing these fluid-filled compartments. I can't wait to see what new research lies ahead now that this discovery has pathed the way and opened up a whole new frontier!<br /><br />-Nicole Ayres (1)Peter Houlihanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961900865379520219noreply@blogger.com
