Substrate stiffness inhibits the glycocalyx GAG heparan sulfate. HUVECs were cultured on polyacrylamide gels of stiffness ranging from 2.5 kPa (soft gel) through 10 kPa (stiff gel) up to 100 kPa. Heparan Sulfate (green) expression was assessed by immunostaining. Cell nuclei were identified using DAPI. Reprinted from Ref. 120.
