In vivo lymphocyte activation and apoptosis by lectins of the Diocleinae subtribe

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2001
This paper reports the overall effects of three lectins, extracted from Canavalia brasiliensis, Dioclea violacea, and D. grandiflora, on BALB/c mice popliteal draining lymph nodes.

Lectin-glycan interaction characterization and comparison.

open access: yes, 2021
Features for lectin-glycan interactions (A) are derived from Protein-Ligand Interaction Profiler (PLIP) defined interaction counts (B), voxelized representations of the 3D pocket space occupied by the glycan (C), and binding site residues binned by their

Mitogenic Lectins

open access: yesMedical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2003
Lectins have captured the attention of a large number of researchers on account of the various exploitable activities that they exhibit, including their proliferative effects on various cell types. Recognition of cell-surface carbohydrates by lectins has broad implications in important biological processes.

Bacterial Lectin FimH and Its Aggregation Hot-Spots: An Alternative Strategy against Uropathogenic Escherichia coli

open access: yesPharmaceutics, 2023
Type I fimbriae are the main adhesive organelles of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC), consisting of four different subunits. Their component with the most important role in establishing bacterial infections is the FimH adhesin located at the ...

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Effect of Bauhinia monandra Kurz Leaf Preparations on Embryonic Stages and Adult Snails of Biomphalaria glabrata (Say, 1818), Schistosoma mansoni Cercariae and Toxicity in Artemia salina

open access: yesMolecules, 2022
Biomphalaria glabrata snails constitute the main vector of schistosomiasis in Brazil, and Bauhinia monandra Kurz, the leaves of which contain BmoLL lectin with biocidal action, is a plant widely found on continents in which the disease is endemic.

Hijacking emergency granulopoiesis: Neutrophil ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Neutrophils are highly plastic innate immune cells; their functions in cancer extend beyond the tumour microenvironment. This Review summarises current understanding of neutrophil maturation and heterogeneity and highlights tumour‐induced granulopoiesis as a systemic programme that expands immature, immunosuppressive neutrophils via tumour‐derived ...
