Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate induces peripheral neuropathy and alters inflammation and mitochondrial biogenesis in the brains of mice. [PDF]
Mounting evidence suggests that antiretroviral therapy (ART) drugs may contribute to the prevalence of HIV-associated neurological dysfunction. The HIV envelope glycoprotein (gp120) is neurotoxic and has been linked to alterations in mitochondrial ...

Hepatitis B Virus RNA Predicts Hepatocellular Carcinoma Despite Viral Suppression
Serum HBV RNA levels at viral suppression predict HCC development in nucleos(t)ide analogue‐treated patients with chronic hepatitis B, outperforming Hepatitis B core‐related antigen alone. ABSTRACT Background Despite achieving undetectable hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA levels with nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA) therapy, patients with chronic hepatitis B ...

Current first‐line NUCs show comparable renal safety profiles in CHB patients with no or mild kidney dysfunction, with growing evidence that favours TAF. Future prospective studies are needed to validate these findings, and more research should focus on CHB patients with diabetes mellitus who are at risk of CKD.
