A recent study posted to the Research Square* preprint server and under consideration at Scientific Reports investigated the impact of a recombinant fragment of cellular glycoprotein ...

Figure 1: Mannose-binding lectin (blue strands) can bind to sites on the SARS-Cov-2 spike protein on the cell membrane. One of the most striking features of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is that across all ...

Fungal lectins are a diverse group of carbohydrate‐binding proteins that play critical roles in mediating cell–cell interactions, host–pathogen recognition and environmental sensing. Increasingly, ...

The role of F-18 FDG PET within randomized multicenter phase III trials for multi-modality treatment of non-small cell lung cancer stage III No significant financial relationships to disclose. This is ...

In a recently published article in the journal Cells, scientists have provided a detailed description of the utility of mannose-specific lectins in preventing coronavirus infections. They have ...

Chronic liver disease is a major complication of cystic fibrosis (CF) and factors other than the deletion of ΔF508 (which causes CF) may control the development of liver damage. In May Journal of ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Modifications in rabbit sperm plasma membranes during epididymal passage and after ejaculation were investigated by use of three lectins: ...

The mucosal surfaces that line the body are embedded with defensive molecules that help keep microbes from causing inflammation and infections. Among these molecules are lectins - proteins that ...

Researchers have identified two sugar-binding proteins that impede the viral entry of circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants. The team may have found the 'Achilles' heel' of the virus, with potential for pan ...
