Modified Citrus Pectin Blocks Gal-3 to Protect Against Post-Stroke Brain Injury A growing body of data points to microglial neuroinflammation as a contributing factor in ischemic stroke injury — driven by high levels of galectin-3 (Gal-3), a master proinflammatory alarmin protein. Research shows that Gal-3 promotes unregulated microglial activation andRead
In this video, Josh Helman, MD discusses the pathogenic mechanisms of the pro-inflammatory immune protein galectin-3 and its role in neurodegenerative diseases, biofilm formation, autoimmunity and other critical conditions. An expert in the fast-growing field of galectin-3 research, Dr. Helman shares key research findings, as well as clinical pearls onRead
Over the last decade or so, research interest in the pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic immune protein galectin-3 (Gal-3) has skyrocketed. Today, thousands of published scientific papers—including longitudinal cohort studies—point to the driving role of galectin-3 in the pathogenesis of our most serious degenerative conditions, from chronic kidney disease and acute kidneyRead
Cognitive impairment and the development of Alzheimer’s disease are recognized risk factors in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Research continues to link metabolic dysregulation and specifically, insulin resistance, with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of cognitive loss. Galectin-3 Fuels Diabetes and Cognitive Decline Emerging research into the beta-galactoside binding protein Galectin-3 (Gal-3) offersRead
Prostate cancer…many of us know someone who is dealing with or who has successfully managed their prostate cancer. Why? This disease has become so prevalent in the past few decades that it’s now the second most common cancer in men worldwide — and it continues to be one of theRead
