A pivotal role for galectin-1 in fetomaternal tolerance
Article Abstract:
Studies have shown that immunoregulatory glycan-binding protein, galectin-1 (Gal-1), has a pivotal role for fetomaternal tolerance. Evidence is provided for synergy between Gal-1 and progesterone in maintaining pregnancy, thus showing Gal-1 as a pivotal regulator of fetomaternal tolerance having potential implications in threatened pregnancies.
