The Roles of RNA N6-Methyladenosine in Regulating Stem Cell Fate

RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification has important regulatory roles in determining cell fate. The reversible methylation process of adding and removing m6A marks is dynamically regulated by a fine-tuned coordination of many enzymes and binding proteins. Stem cells have self-renewal and pluripot...
