Mass Spectrometry Insights Into Post‐Translational Modifications in Extracellular Vesicles
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane‐enclosed structures secreted by virtually all living cells, serving as essential mediators of intercellular communication in both physiological and pathological processes. There is growing interest in their potential applications as biomarkers, therapeutic targets, and drug delivery systems, which ...

ABSTRACT Chitinase‐3‐like‐1 (CHI3L1, also known as YKL‐40) has been recognized as a biomarker of inflammation and tissue remodeling and has now emerged as a pseudoenzymatic immune checkpoint. Recent structural, immunological, and translational studies redefine it as an active regulator of immune suppression rather than a passive disease marker. Despite

Structural and Biophysical Characterization of C-Glycosylic 1,2-Thiodisaccharides Reveals Determinants of Selective Binding to Galectin-7 and Galectin-8N. [PDF]
The molecular basis of galectin recognition by C‐glycosylic 1,2‐thiodisaccharides is revealed. While Gly‐1 provides a conserved affinity driving interaction, Gly‐2 governs isoform selectivity through contacts with variable CRD regions. Unique galectin‐8N residues are identified as attractive handles for the development of next‐generation selective ...

ABSTRACT Peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) are a common cause of long‐term motor and sensory disability despite advances in microsurgical repair. Functional recovery following PNI depends not only on axonal regeneration, but also on preservation of distal nerve pathways, maintenance of neuromuscular junction integrity, prevention of irreversible muscle ...

Hyperglycemia‐driven cytokine activation initiates a sustained inflammatory cascade in diabetic kidney disease, promoting cellular injury and fibrogenic signaling. Integrating cytokine‐based biomarkers with risk stratification enables precision therapeutics that target inflammation and fibrosis, ultimately aiming to halt progression from early renal ...

The intricate relationship between cytokines and galectins in immune modulation
The human immune system is a complex defense mechanism that protects the body against external and internal threats. Disruption of an effective immune response can lead to detrimental effects, such as autoimmune diseases or cancer.

The Role of Galectins in Asthma Pathophysiology: A Comprehensive Review
Galectins are a group of β-galactoside-binding proteins with several roles in immune response, cellular adhesion, and inflammation development. Current evidence suggest that these proteins could play a crucial role in many respiratory diseases such as ...

Role of Galectins in Tumors and in Clinical Immunotherapy
Galectins are glycan-binding proteins that contain one or two carbohydrate domains and mediate multiple biological functions. By analyzing clinical tumor samples, the abnormal expression of galectins is known to be linked to the development, progression ...
