abstract：:It has been hypothesized that bone cells have a hyaluronic acid (HA) rich glycocalyx (cell coat or pericellular matrix) and that this contributes to bone cell mechanotransduction via fluid flow. The glycocalyx of bone cells of the MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cell line and the MLO-Y4 osteocytic cell line were characterized. ...
