This sugar coat, known as the glycocalyx, sits on cells that form the blood-brain barrier. A recent study in mice found that the glycocalyx becomes thinner over time, leaving gaps that invite unwanted ...

Inside the kidneys, there is a thin, gel-like layer on the walls of blood vessels called the glycocalyx. This layer is very important for keeping the kidneys working properly. It protects the tiny ...

Proteoglycans are a ubiquitous family of heavily glycosylated molecules consisting of a core protein with one or multiple covalently-attached linear anionic glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains. The ...

Here we will consider the cell surface to include the lipid bilayer and the associated components that face the extracellular medium and form the glycocalyx (also known as the cell coat or the surface ...
