Detection of inflammation- and neoplasia-associated alterations in human large intestine using plant/invertebrate lectins, galectin-1 and neoglycoproteins [PDF]
Commonly, plant and invertebrate lectins are accepted glycohistochemical tools for the analysis of normal and altered structures of glycans in histology and pathology.

Survival outcome and EMT suppression mediated by a lectin domain interaction of Endo180 and CD147 [PDF]
Epithelial cell-cell contacts maintain normal glandular tissue homeostasis, and their breakage can trigger epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a fundamental step in the development of metastatic cancer.

Lectin domains at the frontiers of plant defense
Plants are under constant attack from pathogens and herbivorous insects. To protect and defend themselves, plants evolved a multi-layered surveillance system, known as the innate immune system.

AbstractLectin microarray is a new technology that utilizes a panel of lectins immobilized on well‐defined substrate for high‐throughout analysis of glycans and glycoproteins. In this article, we have reviewed the fabrication and detection schemes in lectin microarray and discussed its novel applications in glycomics. We have also demonstrated a lectin

Signaling by myeloid C-type lectin receptors in immunity and homeostasis.
Myeloid cells are key drivers of physiological responses to pathogen invasion or tissue damage. Members of the C-type lectin receptor (CLR) family stand out among the specialized receptors utilized by myeloid cells to orchestrate these responses.
