BACKGROUND Knowledge of the expression of the galectins in human colon carcinomas is
mainly restricted to galectin‐3 and, to a lesser extent, galectin‐1. The current study analyzed …

Background: Galectin-3 is a β-galactoside-binding protein whose expression has been
correlated with progression and metastasis in colon cancer. It is expressed at elevated …

Background/Aim: Human lectins translate sugar-encoded signals of cell surface
glycoconjugates into biological effects, and this is what is known for the adhesion/growth …

Introduction Galectin-3 is an endogenous galactose-binding protein that is expressed in a
wide range of normal and neoplasic tissues and is thought to be involved in cellular …

The utility of CEA and CA19-9 as colorectal carcinoma (CRC) markers is limited and
development of additional reliable markers is under investigation. We previously showed …

Background. Galectin‐3 is an endogenous galactose‐binding protein that is expressed in a
wide range of normal and neoplastic tissues and is thought to be involved in cellular …

Abstract Galectin-3, a multifunctional β-galactocide binding lectin possibly participates in a
variety of biological events including cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. The …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Galectins are beta-galactoside-binding proteins possibly involved
in tumor progression. The aim of this study was to determine the pattern of galectin 3 and …

Galectin-3 has an important function in the development of tumors. The purpose of this meta-
analysis was to explore the relationships between the expression of galectin-3 on …

Background and aims: Galectins are β-galactoside binding proteins. This ability may have a
bearing on cell adhesion and migration/proliferation in human colon cancer cells. In addition …
