The formation of shear stress sensing mechanisms during vascular development: the role of the glycocalyx
This work focuses on the formation and functionality of the endothelial glycocalyx in the embryo. The glycocalyx is a shear stress sensing layer on the luminal side of blood vessels which is composed of sugar and protein complexes called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). This work shows that the glycocalyx...
