Article Synopsis
  • The mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) plays a key role in connecting glycolysis to mitochondrial metabolism and its function in glioblastoma (GBM) post-treatment is not well understood.
  • Through in vitro and in vivo studies, the research shows that the MPC is crucial in regulating metabolism after treatments like temozolomide (TMZ) and radiation, specifically inhibiting differentiation in GBM cells.
  • The study highlights the potential for using MPC inhibitors to enhance the effectiveness of current therapies and improve survival rates for GBM patients.

Objectives: Given limited data on factors associated with hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment discontinuation and failure in low- and middle-income countries, we aimed to describe patient populations treated for HCV in five countries and identify patient groups that may need additional support.

Design: Retrospective cohort analysis using routinely collected data.

Setting: Public sector HCV treatment programmes in India (Punjab), Indonesia, Myanmar, Nigeria (Nasarawa) and Vietnam.
