Galectinology of Equine Pregnancy
Galectins are a family of proteins that bind to glycans, acting in a cytokine-like manner throughout the body. In the majority of mammalians, galectins have been found to be involved in pregnancy maintenance, but few studies have evaluated this in the ...

Galectin-1 Pulls the Strings on VEGFR2 [PDF]
Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) cancer immunotherapy targets angiogenesis but development of resistance in patients is common. In this issue of Cell, Croci et al. identify a complex set of mechanisms by which galectin-1 prolongs cell-surface retention of VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2) and stimulates VEGF-independent tumor angiogenesis.

Enhanced Susceptibility of Galectin-1 Deficient Mice to Experimental Colitis
Galectin-1 is a β-galactoside-binding lectin, ubiquitously expressed in stromal, epithelial, and different subsets of immune cells. Galectin-1 is the prototype member of the galectin family which shares specificity with β-galactoside containing proteins ...

“Supra”molecular Recognition of Galectin 1
In this issue of Chemistry & Biology, Belitsky et al. [1] elegantly describe the use of supramolecular complexes of sugars to multivalently target Galectin-1 (Gal-1), a lectin involved in the organization of cell surface glycoproteins, signaling, cell death, and cancer metastasis.

Animal lectins as cell adhesion molecules [PDF]
Protein-carbohydrate interaction is exploited in cell adhesion mechanisms besides the recognition of peptide motifs. The sugar code thus significantly contributes to the intriguing specificity of cellular selection of binding partners.
