The interstitium is a network of fluid-filled spaces and tissues that exist between cells throughout the body. It is a relatively newly discovered part of the body and is thought to have important functions in maintaining tissue structure and function.
The interstitium is made up of a complex network of collagen and elastin fibers, along with other molecules that help to give it structural support. It is found in various parts of the body, including the skin, lungs, liver, and digestive tract.
Recent research has suggested that the interstitium may play a role in the spread of cancer, as cancer cells may use this network to move throughout the body. Additionally, certain diseases, such as pulmonary fibrosis and lymphedema, may involve changes in the interstitium.
Further research is needed to fully understand the role of the interstitium in health and disease. However, it is clear that this network plays an important role in maintaining tissue structure and function, and may have important implications for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases.
