Scientists using a special live imaging technique called a Probe-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (pCLE) to find the interstitium in various parts of the body including the lungs and digestive ...

The scientists found interstitium in tissue from the lungs and aorta, the digestive tract and bladder, in the skin, and in many other spots -- all places that expand and contract, where a “shock ...

There are many types of interstitial lung disease, all affecting the interstitium, which is the network of tissue running through both lungs. The interstitium supports the alveoli or tiny air sacs ...

These air sacs make up most of your lung tissue. Lung diseases affecting your alveoli include: The interstitium is the thin, delicate lining between your alveoli. Tiny blood vessels run through ...

A newfound organ, the interstitium, is seen here beneath the top layer of skin. It is also in tissue layers lining the gut, lungs, blood vessels and muscles. The organ is a bodywide network of ...

These fluid-filled spaces were discovered in connective tissues all over the body, including below the skin’s surface; lining the digestive tract, lungs and urinary systems; and surrounding ...

Restrictive lung diseases are chronic conditions that limit the ability of the lungs to expand during inhalation. This reduces the amount of air that the person can breathe in. A range of chronic ...

progressive form of lung disease characterized by fibrosis of the supporting framework (interstitium) of the lungs. By definition, the term is used only when the cause of the pulmonary fibrosis is ...

Since these pathologic abnormalities predominate in the lung interstitium, the disorders are termed interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). ILDs are typically assigned to many disease categories for ...

The interstitium. Credit: J. Gregory ... It sits below the skin’s surface, lining the digestive tract, the lungs, and even our blood vessels. Researchers say it could be the missing link the medical ...

Ornamental birds and feather pillows, plus daily exposure to pigeons may contribute to the development hypersensitive pneumonitis, a disease that can cause irreversible damage to the lungs.

With all that's known about human anatomy, you wouldn't expect doctors to discover a new body part in this day and age. But now, researchers say they've done just that: They've found a network of ...
