The Endothelial Glycocalyx as a Double-Edged Sword in Microvascular Homeostasis and Pathogenesis
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 blood to the endothelium. Besides protecting endothelial barrier integrity, the dynamic microstructure of the GCX...
