Astrocyte galectin-9 potentiates microglial TNF secretion [PDF]
Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2014 Aberrant neuroinflammation is suspected to contribute to the pathogenesis of myriad neurological diseases. As such, determining the pathways that promote or inhibit glial activation is of interest. Activation of the surface glycoprotein T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin-domain containing protein 3 (Tim-3) by the lectin galectin-9 has been implicated in ...

Cancer Therapy Due to Apoptosis: Galectin-9 [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2017 Dysregulation of apoptosis is a major hallmark in cancer biology that might equip tumors with a higher malignant potential and chemoresistance. The anti-cancer activities of lectin, defined as a carbohydrate-binding protein that is not an enzyme or antibody, have been investigated for over a century.

Galectin-9 blockade synergizes with ATM inhibition to induce potent anti-tumor immunity
International Journal on Biological Sciences, 2023 Although current cancer immunotherapies that target PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint to reinvigorate exhausted T cells have achieved impressive clinical outcomes, only a small proportion of patients respond. New therapeutic targets are therefore needed to be
