Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Galectin-3, a beta-galactoside-binding animal lectin is a multifunctional protein, which regulates cell growth, cell adhesion, cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and apoptosis, and in turn contributes to tumorigenesis and metastasis. The aim of this study was to clarify the role or related mechanisms of galectin-3 in lung carcinogenesis. METHODS: We administrated...
