Ethionine-mediated reduction of S-adenosylmethionine is responsible for the neural tube defects in the developing mouse embryo-mediated m6A modification and is involved in neural tube defects via modulating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway
Abstract Neural tube defects (NTDs) remain one of the most life-threatening birth defects affecting infants. Most patients with NTDs eventually develop lifelong disability, which cause significant morbidity and mortality and seriously reduce the quality of life. Our previous study has found that eth...
