Abstract Galectin-3 is a galactoside-binding protein that is commonly overexpressed in many epithelial cancers. It is increasingly recognized as a multi-functional, multi-mode promoter in cancer development, progression, and metastasis. This study reports that galectin-3 secretion by human colon can...
