Book ChapterDOI
Chapter 13 Mitogen-activated protein kinases and stress
TL;DR: The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) superfamily plays an important role in transducing signals from the cell surface to the nucleus, effecting both the cell's ability to cope with outside changes as well as cellular coordination in the case of multicellular organisms.

Book ChapterDOI
Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3
TL;DR: Glycogen synthase kinase-3 modulates the function of proteins involved in metabolism, transcriptional regulation, the cytoskeleton, the cell cycle, pluripotentiality, and cell fate, and, due to its role in pathophysiological conditions, is a potential therapeutic target.
Journal ArticleDOI
Podocyte GSK3α is important for autophagy and its loss detrimental for glomerular function.

Gene screening methods and related assays
TL;DR: In this article, a mutant form of Daktl, Daktlq, was identified in a Drosophila melanogaster and a genetic screen for identifying genes related to programmed cell death by their ability to interact genetically with the mutant form was described.
