GSK-3: functional insights from cell biology and animal models
Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) is a widely expressed and highly conserved serine/threonine protein kinase encoded in mammals by two genes that generate two related proteins: GSK-3α and GSK-3β.

Multifaceted Roles of GSK-3 in Cancer and Autophagy-Related Diseases
GSK-3 is a ubiquitously expressed serine/threonine kinase existing as GSK-3α and GSK-3β isoforms, both active under basal conditions and inactivated upon phosphorylation by different upstream kinases.

Focusing the spotlight on GSK-3 in aging
Aging/senescence occurs at both the level of the whole organism and the individual cell. Organismal aging is usually defined as the progressive loss of function accompanied by decreasing fertility and increasing mortality with advancing age [1]. Cellular senescence refers to the permanent arrest of cell division, which is characterized by several ...

Neuronal apoptosis and motor deficits in mice with genetic inhibition of GSK-3 are Fas-dependent. [PDF]
Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) inhibitors have been postulated as useful therapeutic tools for the treatment of chronic neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases.

GSK-3 in liver diseases: Friend or foe?
Liver diseases, including hepatitis due to hepatitis B or C virus infection, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and hepatocellular carcinoma pose major challenges for overall health due to limited curative treatment options. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of these diseases.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that is the leading cause of age-related dementia. Currently, therapeutic agent delivery to the CNS is a valued approach for AD therapy. Unfortunately, the CNS penetration is greatly hampered by the

GSK-3beta is required for memory reconsolidation in adult brain. [PDF]
Activation of GSK-3beta is presumed to be involved in various neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), which is characterized by memory disturbances during early stages of the disease.

Roles of GSK-3 and microRNAs on epithelial mesenchymal transition and cancer stem cells
Various signaling pathways exert critical roles in the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cancer stem cells (CSCs). The Wnt/beta-catenin, PI3K/PTEN/Akt/mTORC, Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK, hedgehog (Hh), Notch and TP53 pathways elicit essential regulatory

AP-1 is a component of the transcriptional network regulated by GSK-3 in quiescent cells. [PDF]
The protein kinase GSK-3 is constitutively active in quiescent cells in the absence of growth factor signaling. Previously, we identified a set of genes that required GSK-3 to maintain their repression during quiescence.
