Nanomechanics of the endothelial glycocalyx in experimental sepsis.

Nanomechanics of the endothelial glycocalyx in experimental sepsis.

The endothelial glycocalyx (eGC), a carbohydrate-rich layer lining the luminal side of the endothelium, regulates vascular adhesiveness and permeability. Although central to the pathophysiology of vascular barrier dysfunction in sepsis, glycocalyx damage has been generally understudied, in part beca...
