Galectins are a structurally conserved family of ß-galactoside-binding lectins characterized
by a unique sequence motif in the carbohydrate recognition domain, and of wide taxonomic …

Trypanosoma cruzi, the protozoan parasite that causes Chagas' disease, has anticancer
effects mediated, at least in part, by parasite‐derived products which inhibit growth of tumor …

Galectin-3 (gal-3) is a β-galactoside binding protein related to many tumoral aspects, eg.
angiogenesis, cell growth and motility and resistance to cell death. Evidence has shown its …

Galectins are a family of ß-galactoside-binding lectins characterized by a unique sequence
