Galectins in the Tumor Microenvironment: Focus on Galectin-1 [PDF]
, 2020 In the last decades, the focus of cancer research has moved from epithelial cells to the tumor milieu, in an effort to better understand tumor development and progression, and with the important end goal of translating this knowledge into effective therapies.

Nanoclustering as a dominant feature of plasma membrane organization [PDF]
, 2014 Early studies have revealed that some mammalian plasma membrane proteins exist in small nanoclusters. The advent of super-resolution microscopy has corroborated and extended this picture, and led to the suggestion that many, if not most, membrane ...

The Role of Galectins as Modulators of Metabolism and Inflammation
Mediators of Inflammation, 2018 Galectins are β-galcotosid-binding lectins. The function of galectins varies with their tissue-specific and subcellular location, and their binding to carbohydrates makes them key players in several intra- and extracellular processes where they bind to ...

Galectins and cutaneous immunity
Dermatologica Sinica, 2012 Galectins are highly expressed in epithelial cells and immune cells. In skin, they can be detected in keratinocytes, melanocytes, dendritic cells, macrophages, and T cells. Galectins are present outside and inside the cells and thus may exhibit different

Contribution of galectin-1, a glycan-binding protein, to gastrointestinal tumor progression [PDF]
, 2017 Gastrointestinal cancer is a group of tumors that affect multiple sites of the digestive system, including the stomach, liver, colon and pancreas. These cancers are very aggressive and rapidly metastasize, thus identifying effective targets is crucial ...

NAFLD‐related hepatocellular carcinoma: The growing challenge
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 Risk and protective factors for NAFLD‐related hepatocellular carcinoma Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common cause of cancer‐related mortality and morbidity worldwide. With the obesity pandemic, NAFLD‐related HCC is contributing to the burden of disease exponentially.

mRNA Transcriptomics of Galectins Unveils Heterogeneous Organization in Mouse and Human Brain
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2016 Background: Galectins, a family of non-classically secreted, β-galactoside binding proteins is involved in several brain disorders; however no systematic knowledge on the normal neuroanatomical distribution and functions of galectins exits.

Sensing ligand binding to a clinically relevant lectin by tryptophan fluorescence anisotropy [PDF]
, 2011 Increasing insights into the involvement of endogenous lectins in disease processes fuel the interest to develop potent inhibitors. As a consequence, robust assay procedures are required. Due to their activity as adhesion/growth-regulatory effectors this

Placental Expression Patterns of Galectin-1, Galectin-2, Galectin-3 and Galectin-13 in Cases of Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR) [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2016 Galectins (gal) are members of the mammalian β-galactoside-binding proteins and recognize Galβ1-4GlcNAc and Galβ1-4GalNac (Thomsen-Friedenreich antigen (TF)) sequences of several cell surface oligosaccharides. In this study, gal-1, -2, -3 and -13 were investigated systematically in the trophoblast and decidua compartment of intrauterine growth ...
