Lithium has been used for decades to treat Bipolar Disorder. Some of its therapeutic benefits may be through inhibition Glycogen Synthase Kinase (GSK)-3.

An important step towards clinical trial AD using establish the dose that blocks in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), high-risk condition progression AD. We investigated volunteer...
