Although considerable attention has been paid to the role of extracellular galectins in
modulating, positively or negatively, tumor growth and metastasis, we have witnessed a …

Galectin-7 is a soluble unglycosylated lectin that is able to bind specifically to β-
galactosides. It has been described to be involved in apoptosis, proliferation and …

Galectins are small unglycosylated soluble lectins distributed both inside and outside the
cells. They share a conserved domain for the recognition of carbohydrates (CRD). Although …

Preeclampsia is a serious pregnancy-induced disorder unique to humans. The etiology of
preeclampsia is poorly understood; however, poor placental formation is thought causal …

Abstract Background Galectin-7 (Gal-7) is negatively regulated in cervical cancer, and
appears to be a link between the apoptotic response triggered by cancer and the anti …

The affinities of thirty-two free human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) for four human galectin
proteins, a stable mutant of hGal1 (hGal-1), a C-terminal fragment of hGal-3 (hGal-3C), hGal …

Advanced prostate and bladder cancer are two outstanding unmet medical needs for
urological oncologists. The high prevalence of these tumours, lack of effective biomarkers …

Re-epithelialisation of wounded epidermis is ensured by collective cell migration of
keratinocytes. Efficient collective migration requires the maintenance of intercellular …

Galectins are the member of soluble proteins that bind with β-galactoside containing
glycans. These proteins have been considered to be associated in various important events …

Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) has risen dramatically as a result of chronic exposure
