Multiple naphthol ligands were installed on the glycocalyx of white blood cells via metabolic labeling and subsequent strain promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition. Only when cucurbit[8]uril was present to drive the formation of ternary complexes, cells specifically assembled on a methylviologen functionalized supported lipid bilayer through multivalent interactions.

The glycocalyx and its associated endothelial surface layer which lines all cell membranes and most tissues, dwarfs the phospholipid membrane of cells in extent. Its major components are sulphated polymers like heparan and chondroitin sulphates and hyaluronic acid. These form a fuzzy layer of unknown structure and function.

Objective: To assess the association of serum glycocalyx shedding components (Heparan sulfate, HS; Hyaluronic acid, HA; Syndecan-1, Sdc-1) with outcomes after CA.
Methods: Patients who were comatose for >24 h after CA in the intensive care unit (ICU) of the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from 9/2021 to 04/2023 were enrolled. Serum samples were collected 24 h after CA to measure the concentrations of glycocalyx shedding components.

Objectives: A prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time of over 180 min is linked to poorer outcomes and higher mortality in cardiac surgery. This study examines how glypican-1 shedding, matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP9), and the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1β may contribute to endothelial dysfunction in patients undergoing on-pump surgery with an extended CPB.
Methods: Fifty-one patients undergoing cardiac surgical procedures were divided into two groups based on the intraoperative CPB duration: (i) normal CPB (<180 min, = 23) and (ii) prolonged CPB (>180 min, = 28).
Sphingosine-1-Phosphate, a Marker of Endothelial Injury and Disease Severity in Preeclampsia.
Hypertension

Division of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Institute of Clinical Sciences Lund, Lund University, Sweden. (C.E., F.P., L.E., S.R.H.).
Background: Preeclampsia is a hypertensive pregnancy disorder marked by endothelial damage. Healthy endothelium is covered by a protective glycocalyx layer, which, when degraded, releases detectable products into the blood. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a cardiovascular biomarker involved in glycocalyx preservation, linked to placentation and preeclampsia development.

The glycocalyx is a dense and dynamic layer of glycosylated species that covers every cell in the human body. It plays crucial roles in various cellular processes in health and disease, such as cancer immune evasion, cancer immune therapy, blastocyst implantation, and functional attenuation of membrane protein diffusion. In addition, alterations in glycocalyx structure may play an important role in ocular surface diseases, e.
