Abstract:
Ischemic stroke is a disease with high incidence, high disability and high mortality rates. As a key regulator of microglia activation and proliferation, galectin-3 may have dual effects on ischemic stroke. This article reviews the structure and function of galectin-3, as well as its roles in ischemic stroke.
