Galectin-3 orchestrates the histology of mesentery and protects liver during lupus-like syndrome induced by pristane

Abstract Galectin-3 (Gal-3) controls intercellular and cell-extracellular matrix interactions during immunological responses. In chronic inflammation, Gal-3 is associated with fibrotic events, regulates B cell differentiation and delays lupus progression. Gal-3 deficient mice (Lgals3−/−) have intens...
