Human Galectins Induce Conversion of Dermal Fibroblasts into Myofibroblasts and Production of Extracellular Matrix: Potential Application in Tissue Engineering and Wound Repair [PDF]
Members of the galectin family of endogenous lectins are potent adhesion/growth-regulatory effectors. Their multi-functionality opens possibilities for their use in bioapplications. We studied whether human galectins induce the conversion of human dermal

Galectin-1 immunofluorescent staining.
Nuclei are labeled by Hoescht stain (blue, left panels). Gall bladder neuroendocrine neoplasm demonstrates positive galectin-1 (red, middle and right top panels) immunofluorescence compared to negative control (normal canine kidney).

Aldosterone induced galectin-3 secretion in vitro and in vivo: from cells to humans. [PDF]
Patients with primary aldosteronism are associated with increased myocardial fibrosis. Galectin-3 is one of the most important mediators between macrophage activation and myocardial fibrosis.To investigate whether aldosterone induces galectin-3 secretion

Evaluation of galectins 1 and 3 expression in canine melanoma [PDF]
: Canine melanoma is a frequently-occuring neoplasm in dogs and presents as malignant and highly metastatic in this context, studies that contribute to the understanding of the tumor microenvironment in melanoma include the role of galectins.

The role of Galectin-3 and Survivin in invasion and drug resistance in human cancer [PDF]
Galectin-3 is an apoptosis-related gene previously found to be over-expressed in invasive tumours and to cause in v itroinvasiveness and metastasis in colon, breast and thyroid follicular cancer cells.

Galectins are a family of animal lectins with an affinity for beta-galactosides. They are differentially expressed by various tissues and appear to be functionally multivalent, exerting a wide range of biological activities both during development and in adult tissue.
