Reflecting the overall structural alterations in the tissue, changes in the flow of interstitial fluid in articular cartilage could be an indicator revealing the onset of osteoarthritis, according to ...

In a paper appearing in Nature Physics, the researchers show that when a tissue is pressed or squeezed, it is more compliant and relaxes more quickly when the fluid between its cells flows easily.

These images use color markers—blue for nuclei, red for cell membranes, and green for fluid—to show that spaces between cells shrink as fluid moves out during tissue compression, from left to right ...

Water makes up around 60 percent of the human body. More than half of this water sloshes around inside the cells that make up organs and tissues. Much of the remaining water flows in the nooks and ...

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 ...

The fluid between our cells could be used to diagnose and monitor health conditions. A patch made of tiny needles can sample this liquid and could be easier to use and less invasive than normal blood ...

Common symptoms of a spinal fluid leak are head pain, nausea, and neck stiffness. The outlook for someone with a spinal fluid leak is typically good. It often heals itself with no long-term ...
