Background: Galectins have emerged as critical regulators of tumor progression and
metastasis, by modulating different biological events including homotypic cell aggregation …

Galectins, a family of structurally related carbohydrate-binding proteins, contribute to
different events associated with cancer biology, including apoptosis, homotypic cell …

Galectins belong to a family of carbohydrate-binding proteins with an affinity for β-
galactosides. Galectin-1 is differentially expressed by various normal and pathologic tissues …

Galectin-3 is a β-galactoside-specific, carbohydrate-recognizing protein (lectin) that is
strongly implicated in cancer development, metastasis, and drug resistance. Galectin-3 …

Interactions between two cells or between cell and extracellular matrix mediated by protein–
carbohydrate interactions play pivotal roles in modulating various biological processes such …

Galectin‐3 is a carbohydrate‐binding protein endowed with affinity for β‐galactosides. It
plays a role in cell–cell and cell–matrix interactions. Furthermore, it has been hypothesized …

Evidence that the galectin family of proteins plays crucial roles in cancer, inflammation, and
immunity has accumulated over the last decade. The galectins have consequently emerged …

Galectins are a family of structurally related carbohydrate-binding proteins, which are
defined by their affinity for poly-N-acetyllactosamine-enriched glycoconjugates and …

Galectin-3 is a soluble endogenous lectin in vertebrates and is implicated in a variety of
biological functions, including tumor cell adhesion, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis …

Introduction: Galectins have affinity for β-galactosides. Human galectin-1 is ubiquitously
expressed in the body and its expression level can be a marker in disease. Targeted …
