Role of Galectins in the Liver Diseases: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Background: Galectins, a family of β-galactoside-binding proteins, are related to the development and progression of various human diseases such as cancer, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease. However, its role in liver diseases is unclear.Methods:

PD-L1, Galectin-9 and CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes are associated with survival in hepatocellular carcinoma [PDF]
Novel systemic treatments for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are strongly needed. Immunotherapy is a promising strategy that can induce specific antitumor immune responses.

EZH2 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma progression through modulating miR-22/galectin-9 axis
Background Recent studies have shown that interferon-γ (IFN-γ)-induced galectin-9 expression in Kupffer cells plays an essential role in modulatingthe microenvironment of hepatitis-associated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Galectin-9 influences the Tim-3 molecule expression in natural killer different subpopulations
Galectin-9 is a b-galactoside binding lectin with expressed immunoregulatory activity. During pregnancy galectin-9 is produced by trophoblast cells and regulates the function of natural killer (NK) cells at the maternal-fetal interface via binding to Tim-

Tumor-induced senescent T cells promote the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and angiogenic factors by human monocytes/macrophages through a mechanism that involves Tim-3 and CD40L [PDF]
Solid tumors are infiltrated by immune cells where macrophages and senescent T cells are highly represented. Within the tumor microenvironment, a cross-talk between the infiltrating cells may occur conditioning the characteristic of the in situ immune ...

NAFLD‐related hepatocellular carcinoma: The growing challenge
Risk and protective factors for NAFLD‐related hepatocellular carcinoma Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common cause of cancer‐related mortality and morbidity worldwide. With the obesity pandemic, NAFLD‐related HCC is contributing to the burden of disease exponentially.

Galectin genes: regulation of expression. [PDF]
In this review we have summarized the more recent studies on the expression of mammalian galectins. One interesting observation that can be made is that in most of microarrays and/or differential display analysis performed in recent years one or more ...
