Alveolar epithelial glycocalyx degradation mediates surfactant dysfunction and contributes to acute respiratory distress syndrome
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common cause of respiratory failure yet has few pharmacologic therapies, reflecting the mechanistic heterogeneity of lung injury. We hypothesized that damage to the alveolar epithelial glycocalyx, a layer of glycosaminoglycans interposed between the ep...
