The Endothelial Glycocalyx Is a Gel-Like Lining Inside Every Blood Vessel — and Most People Have Never Heard of It Standard Cardiovascular Screenings Focus on Large Arteries but Do Not Assess What Is ...

A gel-like sugar coating on immune cells has been found to play a starring role in psoriasis. Researchers discovered that immune cells shed this outer layer to help them exit the bloodstream and enter ...

The glycocalyx emerges as an active endothelial system whose structure, metabolism, and shear-dependent regulation integrate mechanical forces with vascular signaling. Disruption of this system ...

New research reveals that immune cells themselves shed a sugar-rich surface layer to enter inflamed skin in psoriasis, reshaping long-held views of how immune cells migrate during disease. This subtle ...

'Tis the season for holiday gift guides. You know, the ones that suggest 31 fish gifts for your fish-obsessed friends. They're everywhere this time of year, though nowhere quite as surprising as a ...

New research has updated our understanding of how sugars, known as glycans, help immune cells move into skin in the inflammatory disease, psoriasis. The paper entitled “Leukocytes have a heparan ...

“Collectively, these findings suggest that glycocalyx integrity is a critical determinant of physical function and that glycocalyx-targeted interventions may be a viable therapeutic strategy to treat ...

A new research paper was published in Volume 17, Issue 9 of Aging-US on August 30, 2025, titled, "Glycocalyx-targeted therapy prevents age-related muscle loss and declines in maximal exercise capacity ...

A collaborative team led by Ralf Jungmann (Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry and LMU Munich) and Leonhard Möckl (Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light and FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg) has pushed ...

The glycocalyx surrounds each cell in the human body like a coat. This complex sugar layer plays a key role in the progression of numerous diseases, such as cancer and autoimmune diseases. The ...
