One of the ways that cancer cells hide from the body's immune system is by forming a thin surface barrier called the glycocalyx. In a new study, researchers examined the material properties of this ...

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. Researchers ...

A recent study published in the journal Nature showed that the dysregulation of the brain endothelial glycocalyx layer impairs the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in disease and aging. The BBB forms a ...

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 ...
