Spatial distribution, temporal development and mechanical properties of the endothelial glycocalyx in vitro
The endothelial glycocalyx is a thin layer of macromolecular matrix on the luminal surface of vascular endothelial cells. It determines fluid and solute transport across the vessel wall; affects the mechanotransduction of endothelial cells and contributes to vascular patho-physiology. This thesis in...
