The Cardiovascular Glycocalyx in Health and Disease, Volume 91 gives updates on the glycocalyx function through the cardiovascular system and its integration in whole system physiology. Chapters address Endothelial surface layers in the kidney, Pharmacological targeting of the glycocalyx -- current status and prospects, The endothelial glycocalyx and the subtleties of female microcirculation, and much more targeted content.
