Evidence suggests that glycocalyx dysfunction is reversible, suggesting that these mechanisms could be considered as therapeutic targets to prevent the progression of renal and cardiovascular disease.

The study looked at a drug called spironolactone. It’s normally used to treat high blood pressure, but it’s now showing ...

Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have uncovered a critical mechanism that may pave the way for innovative treatments for Crohn's disease. Their findings center on repairing the protective ...

As Shi puts it, “I’m excited to unlock the secrets of the glycocalyx in brain aging and neurodegeneration and discover how we can harness its potential to improve brain health.” Reference: Shi SM, Suh ...

Not surprisingly, they found that a bulkier glycocalyx would tend to reduce the overall interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM), the molecular scaffolding that holds cells ...

BioRegenx, Inc. which has entered into a Definitive Agreement to merge with Findit, Inc, and its subsidiary Microvascular Health Solutions, LLC (MVHS) based in Alpine, Utah, announces the release ...

While the glycocalyx is traditionally viewed as a passive barrier that blocks harmful substances from entering cells, its sugars may play a more active role in the brain and how it ages.

PROVO, Utah, July 25, 2024--Cancer patients with healthy microvascularization had zero radiation therapy side effects, as measured by the GlycoCheck glycocalyx imaging device.

Researchers examined the material properties of a thin surface barrier called the glycocalyx with unprecedented resolution, revealing information that could help improve current cell-based cancer ...

Anti‐inflammatory Glycocalyx‐Mimicking Nanoparticles for Colitis Treatment: Construction and In Vivo Evaluation. Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2023; DOI: 10.1002/anie.202304815; ...

A healthy endothelial glycocalyx facilitates the exchange of nutrients, hormones, and oxygen, along with the removal of waste and carbon dioxide, from all vital organs.
