Fascia Research Society is pleased to present an upcoming lecture by Neil Theise, exploring emerging anatomical frameworks for understanding the human interstitium and the fascial system.
Recent research has reframed the interstitium as a body wide, hyaluronic-acid–rich network spanning three interconnected domains: the intercellular space, the pericapillary space—where exchange with the cardiovascular system occurs—and the fascial interstitia. In this lecture, these networks will be examined through microanatomic mapping across multiple organ systems, including the digestive tract, skin, pancreas, lung, and breast.
The lecture will also introduce a newly proposed classical anatomical nomenclature for fascia. Rather than defining fascia as a discrete tissue or single organ, this framework argues for understanding fascia as an integrated organ system. The methodological reasoning and anatomical intent behind this proposal will be discussed in detail.
Dr Theise is Adjunct Professor of Pathology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, with a research career spanning chronic liver disease, cancer biology, adult stem cells, and the anatomy of the human interstitium. He is also the author of Notes on Complexity: A Scientific Theory of Connection, Consciousness and Being, long-listed for the 2023 PEN/E. O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award, and the forthcoming memoir Sarah in the In Between (Spiegel & Grau, 2026).
