TLDR
The results demonstrate not only that the galectin gene family is evolutionarily much older than previously realized but also that fine specificity for complex saccharide structures has been conserved.About:

TL;DR: In this paper, a frontal affinity chromatography (FAC) was used to quantitatively analyze the interactions at 20 °C between 13 galectins including 16 CRDs originating from mammals, chick, nematode, sponge, and mushroom, with 41 pyridylaminated (PA) oligosaccharides.

Galectinomics: finding themes in complexity.
TL;DR: Although the identification of many novel galectin relatives in widely divergent organisms has added significantly to the size and complexity of this intriguing protein family, several common themes arise, which suggest promising new research targets.

Life History and Developmental Processes in the Basidiomycete Coprinus cinereus
TL;DR: Coprinus cinereus has two main types of mycelia, the asexual monokaryon and the sexual dikaryon, formed by fusion of compatible monokARYons, and several genes involved in these processes have been identified.

TL;DR: A better understanding of the developmental processes underlying fruiting in these model organisms is expected to help mushroom cultivation of other basidiomycetes in the future.

Restricted Receptor Segregation into Membrane Microdomains Occurs on Human T Cells During Apoptosis Induced by Galectin-1
TL;DR: It is determined that galectin-1 binds to a restricted set of T cell surface glycoproteins, and that only CD45, CD43, and CD7 appear to directly participate in galectIn-1-induced apoptosis.

TL;DR: The unexpected frequency of human tumor antigens indicates that human neoplasms elicit multiple specific immune responses in the autologous host and provides diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to human cancer.

Apoptosis of T cells mediated by galectin-1
TL;DR: Galectin-1 induced apoptosis of activated human T cells and human T leukaemia cell lines and represents a new mechanism for regulating the immune response.

Expression of galectin-3 modulates T-cell growth and apoptosis
TL;DR: Galectin-3 is a regulator of cell growth and apoptosis and it may function through a cell death inhibition pathway that involves Bcl-2, a well-characterized suppressor of apoptosis.
