The role of endothelial glycocalyx in sepsis [PDF]

open access: yesBali Journal of Anesthesiology, 2019
The surface of endothelial cells is filled with various membrane-bound molecules that form the glycocalyx. The endothelial glycocalyx is a surface layer mainly consisted of glycosaminoglycans that include heparan sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, and ...

The glycocalyx affects the mechanotransductive perception of the topographical microenvironment [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Nanobiotechnology, 2022
The cell/microenvironment interface is the starting point of integrin-mediated mechanotransduction, but many details of mechanotransductive signal integration remain elusive due to the complexity of the involved (extra)cellular structures, such as the ...

Absence of the Epithelial Glycocalyx As Potential Tumor Marker for the Early Detection of Colorectal Cancer. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Detection of cancer at an early stage is pivotal for successful treatment and long term survival, yet early diagnosis requires sensitive and specific markers that can be easily detected by screening procedures.

Fluid shear stress-dependent modulation of the basal endothelial glycocalyx.

open access: yesPLoS ONE
The vascular endothelial glycocalyx is a major regulator of endothelium function, serving as a vital mechanotransducer and barrier. Shear stress due to blood flow exerted on the apical endothelial cell (EC) and glycocalyx have been the primary focus of ...

Studying the Endothelial Glycocalyx in vitro: What Is Missing? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
All human cells are coated by a surface layer of proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and plasma proteins, called the glycocalyx. The glycocalyx transmits shear stress to the cytoskeleton of endothelial cells, maintains a selective permeability ...

Heparinase selectively sheds heparan sulphate from the endothelial glycocalyx [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
A healthy vascular endothelium is coated by the endothelial glycocalyx. Its main constituents are transmembrane syndecans and bound heparan sulphates. This structure maintains the physiological endothelial permeability barrier and prevents leukocyte and ...

Endothelial Glycocalyx Injury in SARS-CoV-2 Infection: Molecular Mechanisms and Potential Targeted Therapy

open access: yesMediators of Inflammation, 2023
This review aims at summarizing state-of-the-art knowledge on glycocalyx and SARS-CoV-2. The endothelial glycocalyx is a dynamic grid overlying the surface of the endothelial cell (EC) lumen and consists of membrane-bound proteoglycans and glycoproteins.

Resuscitation fluids as drugs: targeting the endothelial glycocalyx

open access: yesChinese Medical Journal, 2022
. Fluid resuscitation is an essential intervention in critically ill patients, and its ultimate goal is to restore tissue perfusion. Critical illnesses are often accompanied by glycocalyx degradation caused by inflammatory reactions, hypoperfusion, shock,
