The endothelial glycocalyx is a dynamic signaling surface layer that is involved in the
maintenance of cellular homeostasis. The glycocalyx has a very diverse composition, with …

Expressed on the endothelial cell (EC) surface of blood vessels, the glycocalyx (GCX), a
mixture of carbohydrates attached to proteins, regulates the access of cells and molecules in …

The glycocalyx covers the human mammalian cells and plays important roles in stroke,
inflammation and atherosclerosis. It has also been shown to be involved in endothelial …

Once thought to be a structure of small size and uncertain significance, the endothelial
glycocalyx is now known to be an important regulator of endothelial function. Studies of the …

Aims Arterial stiffness is an underlying risk factor and a hallmark of cardiovascular diseases.
The endothelial cell (EC) glycocalyx is a glycan rich surface layer that plays a key role in …

The endothelial glycocalyx (EGC) is a layer of proteoglycans (associated with
glycosaminoglycans) and glycoproteins, which adsorbs plasma proteins on the luminal …

The endothelium is the largest organ in the body and recent studies have shown that the
endothelial glycocalyx (eGCX) plays a major role in health and disease states. The integrity …

The endothelial glycocalyx (GCX) mediates flow-induced nitric oxide release via heparan
sulfate (HS), but the GCX structure is unclear and the specific HS core protein (s) involved in …

The evidence shows that endothelial glycocalyx exerts an important role in inflammation and
atherosclerosis. We previously demonstrated that hydrodynamic force such as shear stress …

The physiological, anti-inflammatory, and anti-coagulant properties of endothelial cells
(ECs) rely on a complex carbohydrate-rich layer covering the luminal surface of ECs, called …
