Hanahan and Weinberg have proposed 10 organizing principles that enable growth and
metastatic dissemination of cancer cells. These distinctive and complementary capabilities …

Abstract Galectin-9 (Gal-9) is a β-galactoside binding lectin known for its immunomodulatory
role in various microbial infections. Gal-9 is expressed in all organ systems and localized in …

Galectins are a family of mammalian carbohydrate-binding proteins expressed by many cell
types. Galectins can function intracellularly and can also be secreted to bind to cell surface …

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 …

Adaptation to changes in energy availability is pivotal for the survival of animals. Adipose
tissue, the body's largest reservoir of energy and a major source of metabolic fuel, exerts a …

The galectin family consists of carbohydrate (glycan) binding proteins that are expressed by
a wide variety of cells and bind to galactose-containing glycans. Galectins can be located in …

Galectins are an evolutionarily ancient family of glycan-binding proteins (GBPs) and are
found in all animals. Although they were discovered over 30 years ago, ideas about their …

Obesity is one of major risk factors increasing chronic diseases including type II diabetes,
cardiovascular diseases, and hypertension. The effects of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) …

Galectins are a large family of carbohydrate binding proteins with members in nearly every
lineage of multicellular life. Through tandem and en-mass genome duplications, over 15 …

Dysregulation of galectin expression is frequently observed in cancer tissues. Such an
abnormal expression pattern often correlates with aggressiveness and relapse in many …
