The cancer glycocalyx mediates intravascular adhesion and extravasation during metastatic dissemination
Offeddu et al. employ a microfluidic vascular model to study the effects of selective removal of glycocalyx components from cancer cells. They find that cancer-associated hyaluronic acid and CD44 mediate firm adhesion to endothelial cells and extravasation during metastasis.
