Endothelial Luminal Membrane-Glycocalyx : Functionalities in Health and Disease (Colloquium Series on Integrated Systems Physiology: From Molecule to Function to Disease)

Focuses on the structural, biochemical, and diverse functional properties of the endothelial luminal membrane glycocalyx, an organelle which constitutes the endothelial cell "membrane". This volume provides the newcomer with a broad, basic, and brief perspective of the luminal endothelial vascular membrane, and for the more established investigator, a basic overview and integrated perspective.
