Galectin-3 enhances monocyte-derived macrophage efferocytosis of apoptotic granulocytes in asthma
BACKGROUND: Galectin-3 is a 32 kDa protein secreted by macrophages involved in processes such as cell activation, chemotaxis and phagocytosis. Galectin-3 has previously been shown to improve the ability of airway macrophages to ingest apoptotic cells (efferocytosis) in chronic obstructive pulmonary...
