Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Glycogen synthase kinase (GSK) 3α and β are key proteins targeting a plethora of molecules and regulating various cellular processes thus steering central functions such as metabolism, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, adhesion, and migration. In consequence, GSK3 activity has to be tightly controlled to ensure the regulated course of cellular development and behavior whilst dysregulations may result in a variety of disorders such as neurological/neurodegenerative, metabolic, and inflammatory diseases, or different forms of cancer. Decades of research provided profound knowledge on the activity, regulation, and function of the GSK3 paralogues during physiological as well as pathophysiological events. In many biological contexts, however, GSK3 appears to mediate unexpected, in part even conflicting effects. Thus, its specific behavior in a particular situation (e.g., during infections or cancer) is often difficult to predict and its role is still controversially discussed. This Special Issue aims at further elucidating the modulation of GSK3α and β under various conditions and their role in controlling multiple processes within the cell. We cordially invite you to submit a respective manuscript; all types of papers (research articles, brief reports, reviews, hypotheses, case reports, communications) are welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
