HELLP syndrome, also known as the syndrome of hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and
low platelets, represents a severe pregnancy complication typically associated with …

Galectins are an evolutionarily ancient family of glycan-binding proteins (GBPs) and are
found in all animals. Although they were discovered over 30 years ago, ideas about their …

Background Galectin-1, an evolutionarily conserved glycan-binding protein with angiogenic
potential, was recently identified as being overexpressed in cancer-associated fibroblasts …

Galectins are a large family of carbohydrate binding proteins with members in nearly every
lineage of multicellular life. Through tandem and en-mass genome duplications, over 15 …

A well-functioning placenta is crucial for normal gestation and regulates the nutrient, gas,
and waste exchanges between the maternal and fetal circulations and is an important …

Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is the most common pregnancy complication in developed
countries. Pregnancies affected by FGR, frequently concur with complications and high risk …

Galectins are potent immunomodulators that regulate maternal immune responses in
pregnancy and prevent the rejection of the semi-allogeneic fetus that also occurs in …

BACKGROUND After recognition of its pivotal contribution to fetomaternal tolerance, the
study of galectin-1 (gal-1) functions in the context of pregnancy became an attractive topic in …

BACKGROUND The establishment of maternal–fetal crosstalk is vital to a successful
pregnancy. Glycosylation is a post-translational modification in which glycans …

Galectins are a phylogenetically conserved family of soluble β-galactoside binding proteins,
consisting of 15 different types, each with a specific function. Galectins contribute to …
