Galectin-3 deficiency drives lupus-like disease by promoting spontaneous germinal centers formation via IFN-γ

Germinal center (GC) is where B cells interact with other immune cells for optimal induction of antibody responses. Here the authors show that galectin-3 regulates GC development by modulating interferon-γ and B cell-intrinsic signaling, such that galectin-3 deficiency mice exhibit lupus-like autoim...
