TLDR
Serum galectin-7 was not useful for predicting prognosis in TA and should not be considered as a prognostic value, according to the authors.
Abstract
Objective: Galectins are animal lectins that bind to surface glycoproteins expressed at the fetal-maternal interface. The aim of this prospective case–control study was to investigate the possible ...

Paternal age and maternal age are risk factors for miscarriage; results of a multicentre European study

TL;DR: Both maternal age and paternal age effects on miscarriage risk are investigated to provide insight into this frequent reproductive failure and it is found that the risk of miscarriage was higher if the woman was aged > or = 35 years, as has already been reported in a number of studies.

Galectin fingerprinting in human endometrium and decidua during the menstrual cycle and in early gestation.

TL;DR: Cycle-dependent expression of galectin-1 in stromal cells and galECTin-3 in epithelial cells suggest these lectins to be involved in the regulation of different endometrial cellular functions.

The clinical significance of ultrasonographically detected subchorionic hemorrhages

TL;DR: The presence of an ultransonographically detected subchorionic hemorrhage increases the risk of miscarriage, stillbirth, abruptio placentae, and preterm labor.

Galectin-1 influences trophoblast immune evasion and emerges as a predictive factor for the outcome of pregnancy

TL;DR: The results suggest that gal-1 plays a key role in pregnancy maternal immune regulation by modulating HLA-G expression on trophoblast cells, and could serve as a predictive factor for pregnancy success in early human gestation.
