BIO is a potent, reversible and ATP-competitive inhibitor of GSK3α/β. The inhibition of GSK by BIO has been shown to activate the Wnt signaling pathway and sustain pluripotency in murine and human embryonic stem cells. BIO is the first pharmacological agent shown to maintain self-renewal in human and mouse embryonic stem cells. It has also been shown to induce the differentiation of neonatal cardiomyocytes.
