FTO-mediated cytoplasmic m6Am demethylation adjusts stem-like properties in colorectal cancer cell

The demethylase FTO was shown to remove on N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and N6, 2’-O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am) modifications on RNAs. Here the authors show that FTO impedes cancer stem cell-like abilities in colorectal cancer cells through its m6Am demethylase activity, not through internal m6A demethyla...
