Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs) in melanoma: There's smoke, but is there fire?

abstract：:Beta cell apoptosis is a hallmark of diabetes. Since we have previously shown that galectin-3 deficient (LGALS3(-/-) ) mice are relatively resistant to diabetes induction, the aim of this study was to examine whether beta cell apoptosis depends on the presence of galectin-3 and to delineate the underlying mechanism. D...
