Used in research to modulate cellular signaling pathways linked to neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer’s disease. Helps in studying the role of GSK-3 enzyme in tau protein phosphorylation and amyloid-beta production. Also applied in diabetes research due to its influence on insulin signaling and glucose metabolism. Shows potential in promoting cell survival and neurogenesis in neuronal injury models. Commonly used in vitro to investigate mechanisms of inflammation and cancer cell proliferation.
