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 …

The extracellular functions of galectin-7 (p53-induced gene 1) are largely unknown. On the
surface of neuroblastoma cells (SK-N-MC), the increased GM 1 density, a result of …

Cell density-dependent inhibition of growth and neural differentiation in the human
neuroblastoma cell line SK-N-MC are associated with a ganglioside sialidase-mediated …

Galectins are potent effectors with conspicuous cell‐type‐specific activity profile. Its
occurrence poses the question on the nature of the underlying biochemical determinants, in …

We show that high-grade astrocytic tumors with high levels of galectin-1 expression are
associated with dismal prognoses. The immunohistochemical analysis of galectin-1 …

Protein (lectin)‐carbohydrate interaction is supposed to be relevant for tumor cell behavior.
The aims of the present work are to investigate whether galectin‐1 modulates …

Galectin-3, a β-galactoside-binding protein, has been shown to be involved in multiple
biological processes through interaction with its complementary glycoconjugates. Here we …

Many human proteins have a modular design with receptor and structural domains. Using
adhesion/growth-regulatory galectin-3 as model, we describe an interdisciplinary strategy to …

Although its precise function has not yet been established, galectin‐1 seems to play a role in
tumor progression. In this study, we investigated galectin‐1 mRNA expression in human …

We have previously reported that (i) progression of malignancy in patients bearing astrocytic
tumors correlates with increased tumor levels of galectin-1;(ii) in vitro addition of purified …
