Article Abstract
Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) has been implicated in neurological disorders; therefore, it is not surprising that there has been an increased focus towards developing therapies directed to this kinase. Unfortunately, these current therapies have not taken into consideration the physiological role of GSK3 in crucial events like synaptic plasticity. With this in mind we will discuss the relationship of synaptic plasticity with GSK3 and tau protein and their role as potential targets for the development of therapeutic strategies. Finally, we will provide perspectives in developing a cocktail therapy for Alzheimer's treatment.

Robinin (RB) is an accepted antioxidant herbal product with known cardio-protective activity. To explore the anti-oxidative potential of RB in treating myocardial ischemia or reperfusion (MI/RI) damage in rats after inducing hypercholesterolemia (HC). HC was induced by administering cholesterol (2%) to rats for eight weeks.

This in vitro study aimed to elucidate the mechanism by which β-Ele reverses cisplatin resistance in lung adenocarcinoma cells via the LINC00511-mediated glycolysis and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways. The cisplatin-resistant human lung adenocarcinoma cell line (A549/DDP), with either LINC00511 overexpression or knockdown, was established through plasmid transfection.

A serine/threonine kinase with a wide variety of substrates, Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 (GSK-3) is widely expressed. GSK-3 is a key player in cell metabolism and signaling, modulating numerous cellular functions and playing significant roles in both healthy and diseased states. The two histopathological features of Alzheimer's disease, the intracellular neurofibrillary tangles composed of hyperphosphorylated tau, and the extracellular senile plaques composed of beta-amyloid, have been linked to GSK-3.

Gastric cancer (GC) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally, with metastasis critically impacting prognosis. Splicing factors are key regulators of tumorigenesis, particularly in metastasis. In this exploratory study, we investigated the role and mechanism of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A/B (HNRNPAB) in GC cell invasion and migration.

Glycogen is a complex branched glucose polymer that serves as energy reservoir in animals and some bacteria; it has also been synthesized in vitro. It comprises small β particles linked in large aggregates termed α particles. Theory, based on the evolutionary processes which cause these particles to be formed, suggests that if all ingredients for in vitro particle synthesis were added to a suspension of α particles, then these will grow to a steady-state size distribution, after which new particles will be formed.
