Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory
syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is presenting as a systemic disease associated with …

The vascular endothelial surface is coated by the glycocalyx, a ubiquitous gel‐like layer
composed of a membrane‐binding domain that contains proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycan …

The glycocalyx is a polysaccharide structure that protrudes from the body of a cell. It is
primarily conformed of glycoproteins and proteoglycans, which provide communication …

The endothelial glycocalyx comprises a complex layer of membrane-bound proteoglycans,
secreted glycosaminoglycans, glycoproteins, glycolipids and bound plasma proteins such …

The new coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), which is spreading around the world and
threatening people, is easily infecting a large number of people through airborne droplets; …

Preclinical studies in animals and human clinical trials question whether the endothelial
glycocalyx layer is a clinically important permeability barrier. Glycocalyx breakdown …

Background The endothelial glycocalyx (eGC) covers the luminal surface of the vascular
endothelium and plays an important protective role in systemic inflammatory states and …

Abstracts Background The number of studies measuring breakdown products of the
glycocalyx in plasma has increased rapidly during the past decade. The purpose of the …

Objective: Endothelial cells exposed to laminar shear stress express a thick glycocalyx on
their surface that plays an important role in reducing vascular permeability and endothelial …

Albuminuria is commonly used as a marker of kidney disease progression, but some
evidence suggests that albuminuria also contributes to disease progression by inducing …
