Journal ArticleDOI
Galectins as modulators of tumour progression
TL;DR: Current research indicates that galectins have important roles in cancer; they contribute to neoplastic transformation, tumour cell survival, angiogenesis and tumour metastasis, and might have a key role helping tumours to escape immune surveillance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Galectins: a family of animal beta-galactoside-binding lectins.

Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of galectin-3 modulates T-cell growth and apoptosis
TL;DR: Galectin-3 is a regulator of cell growth and apoptosis and it may function through a cell death inhibition pathway that involves Bcl-2, a well-characterized suppressor of apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Galectins: structure, function and therapeutic potential.
TL;DR: Current research indicates that galectins play important roles in diverse physiological and pathological processes, including immune and inflammatory responses, tumour development and progression, neural degeneration, atherosclerosis, diabetes, and wound repair, and may be a therapeutic target or employed as therapeutic agents for inflammatory diseases, cancers and several other diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intracellular functions of galectins
TL;DR: This review summarizes the intracellular activities displayed by several galectins and discusses the possible underlying mechanisms.
