The Glycocalyx and Its Role in Vascular Physiology and Vascular Related Diseases

open access: yesCardiovascular Engineering and Technology, 2020
Purpose In 2007 the two senior authors wrote a review on the structure and function of the endothelial glycocalyx layer (Weinbaum in Annu Rev Biomed Eng 9:121–167, 2007).

Predictive Factors for Failed Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping in Endometrial Cancer: A Retrospective Multicenter Study

open access: yesJournal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives This study aims to evaluate the predictive factors associated with failed sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping in a large, retrospective cohort of patients with early‐stage endometrial cancer (EC). Methods We retrospectively evaluated a series of EC patients who underwent laparoscopic SLN mapping with intracervical ...

Diacetylene‐Functionalized Glycan Mimetics for Receptor‐Mediated Cluster Imprinting in Model Membranes

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Diacetylene‐containing glycan mimetics cluster upon selective lectin binding in GUVs. Subsequent irradiation leads to the formation of fluorescent polymer clusters, while non‐clustered glycan mimetics remain unaffected in the membrane. ABSTRACT The glycocalyx, a dense layer of glycoproteins and glycolipids on eukaryotic cells, is essential for cellular

Bulky glycocalyx shields cancer cells from invasion-associated stresses

open access: yesTranslational Oncology
The glycocalyx—that forms a protective barrier around cells—has been implicated in cancer cell proliferation, survival, and metastasis. However, its role in maintaining the integrity of DNA/nucleus during migration through dense matrices remains ...

Concurrent coupling of atomistic simulation and mesoscopic hydrodynamics for flows over soft multi-functional surfaces

open access: yes, 2018
We develop an efficient parallel multiscale method that bridges the atomistic and mesoscale regimes, from nanometer to micron and beyond, via concurrent coupling of atomistic simulation and mesoscopic dynamics.

Endothelial pathophysiology, glycosaminoglycans and glycocalyx

open access: yesClinical Management Issues, 2015
The endothelial glycocalyx can be described as a network of membrane-bound proteoglycans and glycoproteins, covering the luminal surface of endothelial cells. Over the past decades, structural properties and functions of glycocalyx have been increasingly examined, underlining its role in many physiological processes.

Reactive Oxygen Species Modulate the Barrier Function of the Human Glomerular Endothelial Glycocalyx [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a key role in the pathogenesis of proteinuria in glomerular diseases like diabetic nephropathy. Glomerular endothelial cell (GEnC) glycocalyx covers the luminal aspect of the glomerular capillary wall and makes an ...

The cercarial glycocalyx of Schistosoma mansoni. [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of cell biology, 1985
Cercariae, the freshwater stage of Schistosoma mansoni infectious to man, are covered by a single unit membrane and an immunogenic glycocalyx. When cercariae penetrate the host skin, they transform to schistosomula by shedding tails, secreting mucous and enzymes, and forming microvilli over their surface.

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 ...
