Galectin-3 in blood may predict lung outcomes in children with CF
Elevated levels of the pro-inflammatory signaling protein galectin-3 in the bloodstream of children with clinically stable cystic fibrosis (CF) significantly correlated with worse lung function, according to a study. The findings suggest galectin-3 may serve as a noninvasive biomarker to predict lung disease outcomes in children with CF, the…
