Control of Angiogenesis by Galectins Involves the Release of Platelet-Derived Proangiogenic Factors
Platelets contribute to vessel formation through the release of angiogenesis-modulating factors stored in their α-granules. Galectins, a family of lectins that bind β-galactoside residues, are up-regulated in inflammatory and cancerous tissues, trigger platelet activation and mediate vascularization...
