The structural stability of the endothelial glycocalyx after enzymatic removal of glycosaminoglycans.

The structural stability of the endothelial glycocalyx after enzymatic removal of glycosaminoglycans.

It is widely believed that glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and bound plasma proteins form an interconnected gel-like structure on the surface of endothelial cells (the endothelial glycocalyx layer-EGL) that is stabilized by the interaction of its components. However, the structural organization of GAGs an...
