Galectin-3 (Gal-3) regulates basic cellular functions such as cell–cell and cell–matrix
interactions, growth, proliferation, differentiation, and inflammation. It is not surprising …

Atherosclerosis is a multifactorial chronic inflammatory arterial disease forming the
pathological basis of many cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, heart …

Galectin-3 is a member of the galectin family, widely expressed in immune cells and plays a
role mainly in inflammation, autoimmunity, apoptosis, and chemotaxis. We summarized the …

Galectin-3 plays a prominent role in chronic inflammation and has been implicated in the
development of many disease conditions, including heart disease. Galectin-3, a regulatory …

Galectins are β-galactoside-binding proteins that bind and crosslink molecules via their
sugar moieties, forming signaling and adhesion networks involved in cellular …

A host of endocytic processes has been described at the plasma membrane of eukaryotic
cells. Their categorization has most commonly referenced cytosolic machinery, of which the …

Current literature indicates that there is a strong correlation between coronary artery disease
(CAD) and type 2 diabetes. The arteriosclerotic progression occurs earlier and in a greater …

Abstract Objective The role of Galectin-3 (Gal-3) in atherosclerosis progression has not been
definitely acknowledged. The aim of the study was to establish the following: whether Gal-3 …

Galectins are an ancient family of lectins characterized by evolutionarily conserved amino
acid sequences and β-galactoside recognition and binding sites. Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is one of …

Atherosclerosis is a complex process mediated by leukocytes, macrophages and various
inflammatory markers. Galectin-3 is secreted by activated macrophages and is involved in …
