One example is how bacteria are sampled in the lymph glands in the mesentery. In response, the glands then coordinate immune responses. To look at the shape of the membrane, which Coffey calls ...

Next to the thumping heart and the brain's enigmatic mass, the mesentery may seem a humble thing. It is a fatty membrane that holds the intestines in place. Though the classification as an organ ...

A membrane located in the human digestive system has been upgraded as an organ. The mesentery — previously known as a group of membranes by most scientists — is now known as a single structure ...

Now, they found evidence that back up one of the earliest descriptions of the membrane: the mesentery is one structure and deserves to be recognized as one continuous organ. Based on observations ...

A mighty membrane that twists and turns through the gut is starting the new year with a new classification: Scientists are proposing that the structure, called the mesentery, be upgraded to an organ.
