Biological cells often possess thin, hair-like protrusions on their surface known as cilia, which serve various functions ...

We used this to coat our chip with an artificial glycocalyx that mimics the surface of these host cells. In this way, only bacteria from the targeted E. coli strain adhere to the sensor." ...

In a study in aging mice, Shi has uncovered striking age-related changes in the sugary coating – called the glycocalyx – on cells that form the blood-brain barrier, a structure that protects the brain ...

The glycocalyx coats BBB’s luminal surface ... derived from secreted protease of C1 esterase inhibitor (StcE), a bacterial enzyme that specifically cleaves mucin domains. The researchers used ...

Epithelial cells that line the small intestine are protected by a carbohydrate-rich layer called the glycocalyx, which prevents bacteria from coming in direct contact with the cells. A key ...

The glycocalyx is like a forest with long polysaccharides forming ... One of my current scientifically diverse collaborations involves developing methods to target microbubbles to bacterial infections ...

A barrier against bacteria Epithelial cells that line the small intestine are protected by a carbohydrate-rich layer called the glycocalyx, which prevents bacteria from coming in direct contact ...
