Glucose-1,6-bisphosphate: A new gatekeeper of cerebral mitochondrial pyruvate uptake
Objective: Glucose-1,6-bisphosphate (G-1,6-BP), a byproduct of glycolysis that is synthesized by phosphoglucomutase 2 like 1 (PGM2L1), is particularly abundant in neurons.

Activation of the integrated stress response in human hair follicles.
Unravelling how energy metabolism and stress responses are regulated in human scalp hair follicles could reveal novel insights into the controls of hair growth and provide new targets to manage hair loss disorders. The Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier (MPC)

Enhancing mitochondrial pyruvate metabolism ameliorates ischemic reperfusion injury in the heart
The clinical therapy for treating acute myocardial infarction is primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). PPCI is effective at reperfusing the heart; however, the rapid reintroduction of blood can cause ischemia-reperfusion (I/R).
