Galectins are a family of animal lectins with diverse biological activities. They function both
extracellularly, by interacting with cell-surface and extracellular matrix glycoproteins and …

Modified citrus pectin (MCP) has a low-molecular-weight degree of esterification to allow
absorption from the small intestinal epithelium into the circulation. MCP produces pleiotropic …

The prognostication of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is largely based
upon the tumor size and location and the presence of lymph node metastases. Here we …

Abstract Galectin (Gal)-3, a M r 31,000 member of the β-galactoside-binding protein family,
is a multifunctional protein implicated in a variety of biological functions, including tumor cell …

The present review highlights new information on pregnancy recognition and conceptus
development and implantation in sheep with respect to regulation by progesterone …

Implantation in all mammals involves shedding of the zona pellucida, followed by
orientation, apposition, attachment and adhesion of the blastocyst to the endometrium …

In this minireview, we examine the ability of modified citrus pectin (MCP), a complex water
soluble indigestible polysaccharide obtained from the peel and pulp of citrus fruits and …

Insect galectins are associated with embryonic development or immunity against pathogens.
Here, we show that they can be exploited by parasites for survival in their insect hosts …

Glycans are ubiquitous components of all organisms. Efforts to elucidate glycan function and
to understand how they are assembled and disassembled can reap benefits in fields …

Gene expression signatures generated from DNA microarray analyses have shown promise
as predictive biomarkers of clinical outcome. In this study, we determined a high-risk …
