Current prospects of type II interferon γ signaling and autoimmunity

DS Green, HA Young, JC Valencia - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2017 - ASBMB
Interferon γ (IFNγ) is a pleiotropic protein secreted by immune cells. IFNγ signals through the
IFNγ receptor, a protein complex that mediates downstream signaling events. Studies into …

Galectin-1–driven T cell exclusion in the tumor endothelium promotes immunotherapy resistance

DK Nambiar, T Aguilera, H Cao, S Kwok… - The Journal of …, 2019 - Am Soc Clin Investig
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), although promising, have variable benefit in head and

Emerging roles of N-linked glycosylation in brain physiology and disorders

LR Conroy, TR Hawkinson, LEA Young… - Trends in Endocrinology …, 2021 - cell.com
N-linked glycosylation is a complex, co-and post-translational series of events that connects
metabolism to signaling in almost all cells. Metabolic assembly of N-linked glycans spans …

Galectin-3 captures interferon-gamma in the tumor matrix reducing chemokine gradient production and T-cell tumor infiltration

M Gordon-Alonso, T Hirsch, C Wildmann… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
The presence of T cells in tumors predicts overall survival for cancer patients. However, why
