Overexpression of Galectin-1 and Galectin-3 in hepatocellular carcinoma
Galectins (Gals) are evolutionarily conserved proteins that bind to β-galactoside containing glycans. Abnormal expression of Gals is associated with the development, progression, and metastasis of different types of cancer. Among the 11 Gals identified in humans, the roles of Gal-1 and Gal-3 have been extensively investigated in various tumors.

Targeting Galectins With Glycomimetics [PDF]
Among glycan-binding proteins, galectins, β-galactoside-binding lectins, exhibit relevant biological roles and are implicated in many diseases, such as cancer and inflammation. Their involvement in crucial pathologies makes them interesting targets for drug discovery.

Inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase 7 impairs lysophagy in LLOMe‐treated HepG2 cells
DPP7 inhibition delays ubiquitin‐dependent lysophagy by attenuating ubiquitin accumulation and the recruitment of SQSTM1 and LC3 to damaged lysosomes, resulting in delayed clearance of damaged lysosomes and impaired restoration of lysosomal homeostasis. Created using FigureLabs (Certificate ID: FL‐PUB‐20260922‐Z99XNX).

Galectin-1 for Neuroprotection? [PDF]
Classically activated microglia (M1) are believed to play a key role in neuronal degeneration in multiple sclerosis (MS). In this issue of Immunity, Starossom et al. (2012) show that Galectin-1 exerts a neuroprotective function through glycosylation-dependent inactivation with M1 cells.

Plasma Galectin-9 Concentrations in Normal and Diseased Condition
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.

Prognostic Value and Biological Function of Galectins in Malignant Glioma
Malignant glioma is the most common solid tumor of the adult brain, with high lethality and poor prognosis. Hence, identifying novel and reliable biomarkers can be advantageous for diagnosing and treating glioma.

The multifaceted roles of lysosomes in cancer
Lysosomes support cancer cell adaptation by integrating macromolecule degradation and nutrient recycling with nutrient sensing, inter‐organelle communication and immune regulation. These interconnected functions can promote tumour growth, stress tolerance and therapy resistance, while also creating context‐dependent vulnerabilities that may be ...

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease defined by immune dysregulation, vasculopathy, and progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Despite advances in care, major complications such as interstitial lung disease (ILD) and myocardial involvement remain the leading causes of morbidity and mortality.

Endosomal Escape of siRNA Polyplexes: A Molecular Dynamics Perspective on Underlying Mechanisms
Molecular dynamics simulations reveal distinct endosomal escape mechanisms of siRNA nanoparticles, ranging from electrostatic membrane attachment to hydrophobic membrane fusion. Hydrophobic residues and anionic endosomal lipids emerge as key determinants of membrane disruption, linking molecular interactions to experimental delivery performance and ...
