Galectinology of Equine Pregnancy
Animals, 2022 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 ...

“Repair Me if You Can”: Membrane Damage, Response, and Control from the Viral Perspective
Cells, 2020 Cells are constantly challenged by pathogens (bacteria, virus, and fungi), and protein aggregates or chemicals, which can provoke membrane damage at the plasma membrane or within the endo-lysosomal compartments.

Galectin-1 and Galectin-3 in Chronic Pancreatitis [PDF]
Laboratory Investigation, 2000 Galectin-1 and galectin-3 have important functions in cell-cell interactions, cell adhesion to extracellular matrix, the organization of extracellular matrix, and tissue remodeling. To assess their potential role in chronic pancreatitis (CP), we examined their expression by Northern blot analysis, in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, and ...

Atg8ylation as a general membrane stress and remodeling response
Cell Stress, 2021 The yeast Atg8 protein and its paralogs in mammals, mammalian Atg8s (mAtg8s), have been primarily appreciated for their participation in autophagy. However, lipidated mAtg8s, including the most frequently used autophagosomal membrane marker LC3B, are ...

Tumor Microenvironment-Associated Extracellular Matrix Components Regulate NK Cell Function
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 The tumor microenvironment (TME) is composed of multiple infiltrating host cells (e.g., endothelial cells, fibroblasts, lymphocytes, and myeloid cells), extracellular matrix, and various secreted or cell membrane-presented molecules.

Plasma Galectin-9 Concentrations in Normal and Diseased Condition
Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2018 Background/Aims: Galectin-9 is a soluble immune modulator with versatile functions, including a role as an immune checkpoint molecule. Therefore, the amount of galectin-9 in the blood may reflect an individual’s immunological balance.
