Human lectins are involved in a wide variety of biological processes, both physiological and
pathological, which have attracted the interest of the scientific community working in the …

Cellular communication events are mediated by interactions between cell-surface sugars
and lectins, which are carbohydrate-binding proteins. Galectins are β-galactosyl-binding …

This review discusses the role of galectin-1 in the tumor microenvironment. First, the
structure and function of galectin-1 are discussed. Galectin-1, a member of the galectin …

Abstract Galectin-3 (Gal3) is a multifaceted protein which belongs to a family of lectins and
binds β-galactosides. Gal3 expression is altered in many types of cancer, with increased …

This review is the eighth update of the original article published in 1999 on the application of
Matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI) mass spectrometry …

Among members of the family of adhesion/growth-regulatory galectins, galectin-3 (Gal-3)
bears a unique modular architecture. A N-terminal tail (NT) consisting of the N-terminal …

Within this work, a new class of sequence‐defined heteromultivalent glycomacromolecules
bearing lactose residues and nonglycosidic motifs for probing glycoconjugate recognition in …

Carbohydrate-lectin interactions are relatively weak. As they play an important role in
biological recognition processes, multivalent glycan ligands are designed to enhance …

In this work, we present a bottom-up approach for the synthesis of lactose-functionalized
glycomacromolecules and glycofunctionalized liposomes and apply these compounds to …

Glycans cover the cell surface to form the glycocalyx, which governs a myriad of biological
phenomena. However, understanding and regulating glycan functions is extremely …
