Cancer cells often form the glycocalyx with high levels of cell-surface mucins, which are thought to help protect the cancer cell from immune cell attack. However, a physical understanding of this ...

The glycocalyx coats BBB’s luminal surface and mediates many processes, including cell signaling ... StcE(E447D)-AF647, to label mucin-domain glycoproteins. This method revealed strong luminal ...

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 ...
