Galectins are a family of β€-galactoside-binding animal lectins. In particular, a widely studied member galectin-3, previously designated as βBP, CBP35, Mac-2, L-29 and L-34, has been associated with assorted processes such as cell growth, tumor transformation and metastasis. Galectin-3 is expressed

Accumulation of genetic alterations in hepatocarcinogenesis is closely associated with chronic inflammatory liver disease. 8-oxo-2-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG), the major promutagenic DNA adduct caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS), leads to G:C 3 T:A transversions. These lesions can be enzymaticall
Osteonectin (ON)/SPARC is a glycoprotein involved in extracellular matrix remodelling. ON expression by myofibroblasts has been reported in fibrotic human liver. As ON also plays a role in cell adhesion, differentiation, and proliferation, this study was designed to document its expression in human
