CD45 is an evolutionary highly conserved receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase exclusively
expressed on all nucleated cells of the hematopoietic system. It is characterized by the …

Galectin-3 is a beta-galactoside-binding mammalian lectin and part of the 15 member
galectin family that are evolutionarily highly conserved. It is the only chimeric protein with a …

Galectins are a family of proteins that bind to specific glycans thereby deciphering the
information captured within the glycome. In the last two decades, several galectin family …

Galectin-3 is a carbohydrate-binding protein central to regulating mechanisms of diseases
such as fibrosis, cancer, metabolic, inflammatory, and heart disease. We recently found a …

Galectins (formerly known as “S-type lectins”) are a subfamily of soluble proteins that
typically bind β-galactoside carbohydrates with high specificity. They are present in many …

Galectins are β‐galcotosid‐binding lectins. The function of galectins varies with their tissue‐
specific and subcellular location, and their binding to carbohydrates makes them key players …

Understanding the driving forces underlying molecular recognition is of fundamental
importance in chemistry and biology. The challenge is to unravel the binding …

Glycans are key players in many biological processes. They are essential for protein folding
and stability and act as recognition elements in cell–cell and cell–matrix interactions. Thus …

The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2), the
