Seminar Title

• Glypican 1 mechanosensing in acute pulmonary edema

Objectives

1. To introduce the pathophysiology of pulmonary edema with emphasis in flash pulmonary edema. Learners will familiarize themselves with the severity and available treatment of pulmonary edema.
2. To explain how mechanical forces and mechano-sensing proteins may function as triggers for edema development. Learners will understand how the glycocalyx sense mechanical forces.
3. To unravel the mechanisms by which glypican 1 drives oxidative signaling that drives pulmonary endothelial barrier disfunction and edema. Learners will examine glypican 1 as a target for edema treatment.
