Recent evidence has implicated galectins and their ligands as master regulators of immune
cell homeostasis. Whereas some members of this family, such as galectin-3, behave as …

Immune mechanisms have evolved to cope with local entry of microbes acting in a confined
fashion but eventually inducing systemic immune memory. Indeed, in situ delivery of a …

Galectins and their ligands have been implicated in cell transformation and cancer
metastasis, and found to have prognostic value. Mac-2 BP, also known as 90K, is a highly …

The anti-inflammatory, antiangiogenic, anticoagulant, and antiadhesive properties of
fucoidans obtained from nine species of brown algae were studied in order to examine the …

Galectin-3, a member of the β-galactoside-binding animal lectins, has been implicated in
tumor invasion and metastasis. Using an immunoligand assay, we assessed the circulating …

Background Recent evidence suggested a potential correlation between overweight and the
efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in cancer patients. Patients and methods We …

Galectin‐3 is a carbohydrate‐binding protein endowed with affinity for β‐galactosides. It
plays a role in cell–cell and cell–matrix interactions. Furthermore, it has been hypothesized …

Galectins are a family of proteins involved in several cell processes, including their survival
and death. Galectin‐3 has in particular been described as an anti‐apoptotic molecule …

The immune system seems to play a fundamental role in breast cancer responsiveness to
chemotherapy. We investigated two peripheral indicators of immunity/inflammation, ie …

Background Patients with a history of autoimmune diseases (AIDs) have not usually been
included in clinical trials with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Materials and Methods …
