**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale**
Galectin-3 (LGALS3) functions as a critical molecular sensor and platform orchestrating neuroinflammatory responses through its dual role in detecting lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) and facilitating NLRP3 inflammasome assembly. The protein's β-galactoside-binding lectin domain recognizes exposed β-galactosides on the luminal surface of damaged lysosomal membranes, while its N-terminal domain provides a scaffold for inflammasome component recruitm
