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 ...

Now, MIT engineers have found that this "intercellular" fluid plays a major role in how tissues respond when squeezed, pressed, or physically deformed. Their findings could help scientists understand ...

Water makes up around 60% of the human body. More than half of this water is inside the cells that make up organs and tissues, and much of the remaining water flows in the spaces between cells. MIT ...

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 ...

Jennifer Munson of the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC and Evangelia Bellas of Temple University’s Department of Bioengineering were awarded $250,000 by the Lipedema Foundation Lipedema is ...
