Eukaryotic cells have a highly evolved system of protein secretion, and dysfunction in this
pathway is associated with many diseases including cancer, infection, metabolic disease …

Galectins are β-galactoside-binding proteins that bind and crosslink molecules via their
sugar moieties, forming signaling and adhesion networks involved in cellular …

Abstract Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins (GPI-APs) are a class of
membrane proteins containing a soluble protein attached by a conserved glycolipid anchor …

Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN s) are innate immune system cells that play an
essential role in eradicating invading pathogens. PMN migration to sites of …

Galectin-2 is a prototype member of the galactoside-binding galectin family. It is
predominately expressed in the gastrointestinal tract but is also detected in several other …

Mucosal surfaces are of key importance in protecting animals against external threats
including pathogens. In the mucosal surfaces, host molecules interact with non-self to …

We performed this study to investigate the possibility of a definitive pattern of Galectin-3 (Gal-
3) expression in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and …

Galectins are small unglycosylated soluble lectins distributed both inside and outside the
cells. They share a conserved domain for the recognition of carbohydrates (CRD). Although …

Introduction Early life exposure to non-digestible oligosaccharides (NDO) or microbial
components is known to affect immune development. NDO in combination with a TLR9 …

Innovations in medical diagnosis and treatment have led to prolongation of life of patients.
