Functions of cell surface galectin-glycoprotein lattices [PDF]

, 2007
Programmed remodeling of cell surface glycans by the sequential action of specific glycosyltransferases can control biological processes by generating or masking ligands for endogenous lectins. Galectins, a family of animal lectins with affinity for beta-

Ligand‐Induced Electronic Response Enables Predictive QM/MM Simulations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) simulations are powerful tools for modeling complex molecular systems; however, their predictability has been constrained by the ambiguous definition of the QM region. An electronically informed protocol is introduced that defines QM regions by quantifying guest‐induced orbital shifts and charge ...

Galectin-1 inhibits oral-intestinal allergy syndrome

Oncotarget, 2017
The pathogenesis of oral-intestinal allergy syndrome (OIAS) has not been well understood. Published data indicate that galectin (Gal) 1 has immune regulatory functions. This study tests a hypothesis that Gal1 inhibits oral-intestinal allergy syndrome.Mice were sensitized to peanut extracts (PE) via the buccal mucosa with or without using Gal1 together ...

Proteins associated with pancreatic cancer survival in patients with resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. [PDF]

, 2015
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly lethal disease with a dismal prognosis. However, while most patients die within the first year of diagnosis, very rarely, a few patients can survive for >10 years.
