A team of researchers has identified what’s said to be a previously undiscovered organ， and may even be one of the largest in the body.
一个研究团队发现了一种据说是以前未被发现的器官，它甚至可能是人体内最大的几个器官之一。
What was once thought to be dense， connective tissues running all throughout the body has now been found to be a network of fluid-filled compartments that may act as "shock absorbers."
曾被认为遍布全身的密集结缔组织实际上是充满流体的间质网络，并发挥着“减震器”的作用。
Not only could the finding reshape our understanding of the human body， but scientists say it could help to explain why cancer is more likely to spread when it invades certain areas.

Dubbed the "interstitium" interconnected compartments act like a "highway of moving fluid" that sits beneath the top layer of the skin， lines the digestive tract， lungs and urinary systems， and surrounds the arteries， veins， and the fascia between muscle.
