ImpactModerate impact

The discussions suggest the research could influence future studies and potential clinical applications, though some emphasize more exploration is needed.

Abstract in brief

Galectins are a family of proteins that bind to specific sugar molecules called glycans and are found inside cells or secreted outside, playing a key role in immune responses.
They influence both innate and adaptive immunity by interacting with immune cell surfaces or intracellular components, and can directly bind to microbes or help control processes like autophagy during infections.
Research on galectins reveals their diverse roles in immunity, providing opportunities for understanding infections better, but also presenting challenges in how to harness their functions effectively.
