Delineating the "galectin signature" of the tumor microenvironment
Galectins, a family of glycan-binding proteins, can control tumor progression by promoting transformation, angiogenesis and immune escape. We identified a dynamically regulated 'galectin signature', which delineates the progression of prostate cancer, highlighting galectin-1 as an attracti...

Sumario: | Galectins, a family of glycan-binding proteins, can control tumor progression by promoting transformation, angiogenesis and immune escape. We identified a dynamically regulated 'galectin signature', which delineates the progression of prostate cancer, highlighting galectin-1 as an attractive target for anti-angiogenic therapy in advanced stages of the disease. © 2013 Landes Bioscience. |
