Understanding the Role of Endothelial Glycocalyx in Mechanotransduction via Computational Simulation: A Mini Review
Endothelial glycocalyx (EG) is a forest-like structure, covering the lumen side of blood vessel walls. EG is exposed to the mechanical forces of blood flow, mainly shear, and closely associated with vascular regulation, health, diseases, and therapies. One hallmark function of the EG is mechanotrans...
