Today's topic: Glycocalyx and fluid leakage.

The glycocalyx is a protective layer lining blood vessels, crucial for maintaining vascular health. Damage to the glycocalyx can lead to fluid leakage from blood vessels, causing tissue swelling and impacting overall circulation, especially in conditions like inflammation and sepsis.
