Ever wonder why RNA and protein levels often don't match up? m6A RNA modification could be the missing link. Our work, the first m6A epitranscriptome map in prostate cancer, is out now in Nature Genetics! Huge thanks to collaborators+support from @PCFnews, @tfri_research &more
This RNA modification drives prostate cancer progression
A study by @UHN & @UCLAHealthJCCC found m6A RNA modification promotes prostate tumour growth and relapse. It boosts the production of a cell movement molecule to aid cancer metastasis.
