Gabriel A. Rabinovich is an Argentine biochemist who is currently a professor at the School of Exact and Natural Sciences at the University of Buenos Aires.
He is also a member of the Argentine National Academy of Science, was a visiting professor at multiple universities, and is on 12 different journal Editorial Boards.
Their research showed that galectins work to regulate cell signaling, growth, secretions, and other interactions which affect the inflammatory response to tumor progression.
They did this through a comparative study in which they obtained fucoidans from brown algae and looked at the responses to leucocytes, thrombin, coagulants, and carcinoma cells.
[9] In 2019, Rabinovich worked with his colleagues to study Gal-12 and found that it promoted angiogenesis in vitro by influencing endothelial cells.
Under hypoxic conditions, the regulation of this gene increased, and Gal-12 plays an important role in adipose tissue for both differentiation and homeostasis.
