Galectins are a taxonomically widespread family of glycan-binding proteins, defined by at
least one conserved carbohydrate-recognition domain with a canonical amino acid sequence …

The vascular cellular adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) is a protein that canonically participates
in the adhesion and transmigration of leukocytes to the interstitium during inflammation. …

Activated Leukocyte Cell Adhesion Molecule (ALCAM/CD166) is a glycoprotein involved in
homotypic and heterotypic cell adhesion. ALCAM can be proteolytically cleaved at the cell …

Rationale: The incidence of obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) may be increasing in
parallel with the present obesity epidemic. Despite extensive noninvasive ventilation (NIV) …

Angiogenesis, the growth of new capillaries from preexisting blood vessels, is a complex
process involving endothelial cell (EC) activation, disruption of vascular basement membranes, …

Background Obesity hypoventilation syndrome is commonly treated with continuous positive
airway pressure or non-invasive ventilation during sleep. Non-invasive ventilation is more …

Background Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is an effective form of treatment in patients with
obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) who have concomitant severe obstructive sleep …

Galectin‐1 (Gal1), a β‐galactoside‐binding protein abundantly expressed in tumor
microenvironments, is associated with the development of metastasis in hepatocellular carcinomas (…

Galectin-8 (gal-8) is a “tandem-repeat”-type galectin, containing two carbohydrate recognition
domains connected by a linker peptide. gal-8 is expressed both in the cytoplasm and …

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents a global health problem. Infections with hepatitis
B or C virus, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis disease, alcohol abuse, or dietary exposure to …
