Contents Sperm binding and sperm penetration of the zona pellucida (zp) are regarded as
species‐specific. In this investigation, the interactions between bovine oocytes and porcine …

Purpose: The microenvironment established by stromal cells may or may not influence
phenotypic aspects of epithelial cells and may be relevant for tumor and stem cell biology …

Presence of species-specific gene divergence in a protein family prompts to thoroughly
study structural aspects and expression profiles of the products. We herein focus on two …

The aim of this study was to glyco-and immunohistochemically analyze expression of distinct
growth/adhesion-related markers of primary testicular carcinomas and their lung metastases …

A thorough characterization of the properties of squamous epithelial cells is necessary in
order to improve our understanding of the functional aspects of normal development and …

The reproductive activity of the male dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius) as a
seasonal breeder is affected by various seasonal changes that reflect on the reproductive …

Cellular activities in the regulation of growth or adhesion/migration involve protein (lectin)–
carbohydrate recognition at the cell surface. Members of the galectin family of endogenous …

Detection of genes for putative receptor-like protein kinases, which contain an extracellular
domain related to leguminous lectins, in plant genomes inspired the hypothesis that this part …

Following the detection of individual members of the family of galectins it is an obvious
challenge to define the extent of functional overlap/divergence among these proteins. As a …

With 2 figures and 3 tables Summary The emerging insights into glycan functionality direct
increasing attention to monitor core modifications of N‐glycans and branch‐end structures …
