Large-scale molecular dynamics simulation of coupled dynamics of flow and glycocalyx: towards understanding atomic events on an endothelial cell surface [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The glycocalyx has a prominent role in orchestrating multiple biological processes occurring at the plasma membrane. In this paper, an all-atom flow/glycocalyx system is constructed with the bulk flow velocity in the physiologically relevant ranges for ...

Therapeutic Reprogramming of Glioblastoma Phenotypic States Using Multifunctional Heparin Nanoparticles

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents heparin‐derived nanoparticles (HP‐NPs) as a novel precision medicine platform that combines therapeutic and delivery functions. HP‐NPs target drug‐resistant glioblastoma stem cells, reprogramming them into a drug‐sensitive phenotype and significantly reducing tumor progression.

Multi-scale interaction of flow and the artery wall [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We discuss, from the perspective of basic science, the physical and biological processes which underlie atherosclerotic (plaque) initiation at the vascular endothelium, identifying their widely separated spatial and temporal scales which participate.

PIEZO Force Sensing in Vascular Biology: An Explosion of New Knowledge, Concepts and Opportunity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Knowledge of the remarkable mechanical force sensing and electrically transducing PIEZO1 and PIEZO2 channels is discussed across vascular biology and its cell types from the embryonic to adult stages in health, disease and old age. How the channels work, relate to other factors and signal for tissue responses to mechanical forces is debated.

Endothelial barrier dysfunction in diabetic conduit arteries: a novel method to quantify filtration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The endothelial barrier plays an important role in atherosclerosis, hyperglycemia, and hypercholesterolemia. In the present study, an accurate, reproducible, and user-friendly method was used to further understand endothelial barrier function of conduit ...

Vascular endothelial injury exacerbates coronavirus disease 2019: The role of endothelial glycocalyx protection

open access: yesMicrocirculation, 2020
The potential for a rapid increase in severity is among the most frightening aspects of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. Evidence increasingly suggests that the symptoms of coronavirus disease‐2019 (COVID‐19)‐related acute ...

The role of S100B/RAGE-enhanced ADAM17 activation in endothelial glycocalyx shedding after traumatic brain injury

open access: yesJournal of Neuroinflammation, 2021
Background Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains one of the main causes for disability and death worldwide. While the primary mechanical injury cannot be avoided, the prevention of secondary injury is the focus of TBI research.
