via MOTHERBOARD
As detailed in a paper published in Nature Metabolism , the newly-identified vessels cross the surface of bones to their interior. Bones are organs, too, after all, and have a system for blood circulation not unlike our squishier organs.
“It is really unexpected being able to find a new and central anatomical structure that has not been described in any textbook in the 21st century,” study co-author Matthias Gunzer, a professor at the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany, said in a statement.
