Galectin-3 contributes to neonatal hypoxic–ischemic brain injury

Inflammation induced by hypoxia–ischemia (HI) contributes to the development of injury in the newborn brain. In this study, we investigated the role of galectin-3, a novel inflammatory mediator, in the inflammatory response and development of brain injury in a mouse model for neonatal HI. Galectin-3...
