A chance discovery has revealed what scientists could deem a new human organ.
According to New Scientist, routine endoscopies (procedures involving looking inside the body) studying bile duct tissue revealed unusual fluid channels running throughout the body, seemingly as part of a network.
This research was passed onto NYU School of Medicine Pathologist Neil Theise, who conducted further study and found the same fluid channels under the skin of his nose.
