fa Detection of galectins during malignant transformation of oral cells پاتولوزی دهان، فک و صورت Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology پژوهشي Research Oral cancer is a common neoplasm world-wide. The incidence and mortality have increased over the past decades. It is characterized by poor prognosis and a low survival rate despite sophisticated surgical and radiotherapeutic modalities. Galectins are detected in a wide variety of tissues. The expression of galectins is modulated during the differentiation of individual cells and during the development of organisms and tissues, being altered in different physiological or pathological conditions including, carcinogenesis. In this review, we will discuss the role of galectins during the malignant transformation of oral cells, in order to understand their mechanisms of the action in a several cellular activities and test systems. Certainly, such information will contribute for understanding oral cancer pathogenesis.<hr><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left direction: ltr unicode-bidi: embed"><b>Source: </b>Dental Research Journal </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left direction: ltr unicode-bidi: embed"><a href="http://drj.mui.ac.ir/index.php/drj/article/view/1463" target="_blank"><font color="#0000ff">Full Text</font></a></p> Galectin, in vivo, in vitro, oral cancer 0 0 http://idai.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-32-3349&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Thais Hossaka 100319475328460015408 100319475328460015408 No Departments of Pathology, Federal University of São Paulo, UNIFESP, SP, Brazil Gustavo Focchi 100319475328460015409 100319475328460015409 No Departments of Pathology, Federal University of São Paulo, UNIFESP, SP, Brazil Celina F Oshima 100319475328460015410 100319475328460015410 No Departments of Pathology, Federal University of São Paulo, UNIFESP, SP, Brazil Daniel Ribeiro daribeiro@unifesp.br 100319475328460015411 100319475328460015411 Yes Departments of Pathology and Biosciences, Federal University of São Paulo, UNIFESP, SP, Brazil
