The glycocalyx (pl.: glycocalyces or glycocalyxes), also known as the pericellular matrix and cell coat, is a layer of glycoproteins and glycolipids which...

structures, including the cell wall and the carbohydrate layer called the glycocalyx, as well as the intracellular network of protein fibers called the cytoskeleton...

cells. This fibre matrix endocapillary layer is called the endothelial glycocalyx.The Starling equation describes that relationship in mathematical form...

criticised and attention has shifted to the impact of the intravascular glycocalyx layer as the major player. The word 'oncotic' by definition is termed...

cells which line the inner surface of the small and large intestines. A glycocalyx surface coat contains digestive enzymes. Microvilli on the apical surface...

bacteria secrete extracellular polymers outside of their cell walls called glycocalyx. These polymers are usually composed of polysaccharides and sometimes...

attachment surface for several extracellular structures such as a cell wall, glycocalyx, and cytoskeleton. Within the cytoplasm of a cell, there are many biomolecules...

They can also generate movement where they are called type IV pili. Glycocalyx is produced by many bacteria to surround their cells, and varies in structural...

pathogens and other antigen-presenting cells. The microvilli are covered with glycocalyx, consisting of peripheral glycoproteins that can attach themselves to...

layer. Capsule and slime layer are sometimes summarized under the term glycocalyx. Most bacterial capsules are composed of polysaccharide, but some species...

causes similar response to SIRS. Bacterial virulence factors, such as glycocalyx and various adhesins, allow colonization, immune evasion, and establishment...

Representation of a choanocyte Flagellum Collar Flagellar vane Glycocalyx layer Contractile vacuole, regulates the quantity of water inside a cell Golgi...

glycolipids. Therefore, the slime layer is considered as a subset of glycocalyx. While slime layers and capsules are found most commonly in bacteria,...

border on the apical surface of the epithelial cells is covered with glycocalyx, which is composed of oligosaccharides attached to membrane glycoproteins...

Bertozzi has applied the techniques of bioorthogonal chemistry to study glycocalyx, the sugars that surround the cell membrane. Her discoveries have advanced...

other and grow on wet surfaces. The S. aureus biofilm is embedded in a glycocalyx slime layer and can consist of teichoic acids, host proteins, extracellular...

nephrin. In addition, foot processes have a negatively charged coat (glycocalyx) that repels negatively charged molecules such as serum albumin. The mesangium...

composition. The red blood cell membrane is composed of 3 layers: the glycocalyx on the exterior, which is rich in carbohydrates; the lipid bilayer which...

Hyaluronidase, when injected into the circulation, results in the loss of glycocalyx and is therefore considered as a potential endogenous sheddase. However...
