Description
Summary:Sepsis is a global health challenge that causes more than 11 million deaths annually and represents a substantial medical and economic burden. With rising treatment costs and significant mortality rates associated with organ dysfunction and septic shock, research efforts have focused on investigating the mechanism of glycocalyx (GCX) degradation as well as its regenerative capacity. Therefore, GCX has become a target in therapeutic strategies.
