Microglia-derived Galectin-9 drives amyloid-β pathology in Alzheimer's disease. [PDF]
The accumulation of amyloid‐β (Aβ) and overactivation of microglia contribute to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the interaction between microglial activation and Aβ deposition in AD remains elusive.

Galectin-9 binds IgM-BCR to regulate B cell signaling [PDF]
The galectin family of secreted lectins are important regulators of immune cell function; however, their role in B cell responses is poorly understood. Here, the authors identify IgM-BCR as a ligand for galectin-9.

Alarmin function of galectin-9 in murine respiratory tularemia.
Sepsis is a complex immune disorder that is characterized by systemic hyperinflammation. Alarmins, which are multifunctional endogenous factors, have been implicated in exacerbation of inflammation in many immune disorders including sepsis.

Galectin-9: diverse roles in skin disease. [PDF]
Galectin-9 (Gal-9) is a multifunctional immunomodulatory molecule involved in cell growth, differentiation, adhesion, communication, and death. Galectin-9 mediates its physiological functions through interactions with multiple membrane receptors, including T-cell immunoglobulin mucin-domain containing-3 (Tim-3), immunoglobulin E, and the hyaluronan ...

Galectin-9 Is a Novel Regulator of Epithelial Restitution [PDF]
Increasingly, the ß-galactoside binding lectins, termed galectins, are being recognized as critical regulators of cell function and organismal homeostasis. Within the context of the mucosal surface, galectins are established regulators of innate and adaptive immune responses, microbial populations, and several critical epithelial functions, including ...
