Growing insights into the many roles of glycoconjugates in biorecognition as ligands for
lectins indicates a need to compare plant and animal lectins. Furthermore, the popularity of …

A high‐density coding system is essential to allow cells to communicate efficiently and
swiftly through complex surface interactions. All the structural requirements for forming a …

Background—Inflammatory mechanisms have been proposed to be important in heart
failure (HF), and cytokines have been implicated to add to the progression of HF. However, it …

Analysis of the genome and proteome assumes the focus of attention in efforts to relate
biochemical coding with cell functionality. Among other chores in energy metabolism, the …

Targeting of drugs to specific sites of action provides several advantages over non-targeted
drugs. These include the prevention of side effects of drugs on healthy tissues and …

Within cancer, there is a large wealth of diversity, complexity, and information that nature has
engineered rendering it challenging to identify reliable detection methods. Therefore, the …

The cell density-dependent growth inhibition of human SK-N-MC neuroblastoma cells is
initiated by increased ganglioside sialidase activity leading to elevated cell surface …

Purpose: Knowledge about galectin expression by human tumor cells is mainly restricted to
galectins-1 and-3. This study was conducted to define the gene expression pattern of all …

Galectins, a family of mammalian lectins with specificity to β‐galactosides, are involved in
growth‐regulatory mechanisms and cell adhesion. A relationship is assumed to exist …

BACKGROUND Knowledge of the expression of the galectins in human colon carcinomas is
mainly restricted to galectin‐3 and, to a lesser extent, galectin‐1. The current study analyzed …
