The "Master Switch" Galectin-3
In a healthy state, Galectin-3 is a vital mediator of cell adhesion and growth. However, when triggered by chronic stress or injury, its overexpression serves as a systemic "danger signal"—an upstream master switch that accelerates the destructive cycles of fibrosis, chronic inflammation, and tumor progression. We are decoding this signal to transform the treatment of complex diseases.
To unlock how Gal-3 drives disease from A to Z:
