Uterine microbial disease affects half of all dairy cattle after parturition, causing infertility by
disrupting uterine and ovarian function. Infection with Escherichia coli, Arcanobacterium …

Galectins are a family of carbohydrate-binding proteins with an affinity for β-galactosides.
Galectin-1 (Gal-1) is differentially expressed by various normal and pathological tissues and …

A successful pregnancy requires synchronized adaptation of maternal immune-endocrine
mechanisms to the fetus. Here we show that galectin-1 (Gal-1), an immunoregulatory glycan …

Fifteen galectins, β-galactose-binding animal lectins, are known to be distributed throughout
the body. We herein summarize current knowledge on the tissue-and cell-specific …

The extracellular protozoan parasite Trichomonas vaginalis causes the most prevalent non‐
viral sexually transmitted human infection, yet the pathogenesis of infection is poorly …

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

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 …

Galectins are multifunctional regulators of fundamental cellular processes. They are also
involved in innate and adaptive immune responses, and play a functional role in immune …

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 …

BACKGROUND: Galectin-1 (gal-1) and galectin-3 (gal-3), which are members of the
mammalian β-galactoside-binding proteins, recognise preferentially (Galβ1-4GlcNAc) …
