LGALS3 and infectious disease: For example, In virus infectious diseases, galectin-3 tended to affect viruses such as HIV-1 (human immunodeficiency virus-1), MV-Mp (Minute virus of mouse protoparvovirus), and EV71 (Enterovirus 71), such as viral combination, replication, budding, and transmission, followed by infection-associated inflammation, and endogenous galectins as cellular factors by regulating viral infection interacting with cellular components under viral hijacking or inflammation led by virus replication [35].
