Over the past decade, since it was first observed in vivo, there has been an explosion in
interest in the thin (∼ 500 nm), gel-like endothelial glycocalyx layer (EGL) that coats the …

The endothelial lining of blood vessels presents a large surface area for exchange of
materials between blood and tissues, and is critically involved in many other processes such …

This third edition offers a comprehensive overview of the latest theories on flow, transport,
and heat-exchange processes in porous media. It also details sophisticated porous media …

Background The endothelial glycocalyx layer (EGL) is a key regulator of vascular
permeability, cell adhesion, and inflammation. The EGL is primarily composed of syndecan …

The objective of this study was to test whether a glycosaminoglycan component of the
surface glycocalyx layer is a fluid shear stress sensor on endothelial cells (ECs). Because …

Myocardial tissue edema attributable to increased microvascular fluid loss contributes to
cardiac dysfunction after myocardial ischemia, cardiopulmonary bypass, hypertension, and …

Endothelial cells are covered with a polysaccharide rich layer more than 400 nm thick,
mechanical properties of which limit access of circulating plasma components to endothelial …

In the vascular system, the endothelial surface layer (ESL) as the inner surface of blood
vessels affects mechanotransduction, vascular permeability, rheology, thrombogenesis, and …

Background—Flowing erythrocytes and platelets are separated from the luminal endothelial
cell (EC) surface by a 0.5-μm-wide space named the endothelial surface layer. We …

Damage to the endothelial glycocalyx, which helps maintain vascular homeostasis,
heightens the sensitivity of the vasculature to atherogenic stimuli. Patients with renal failure …
