    The m6A Reading Protein YTHDF3 Potentiates Tumorigenicity of Cancer Stem-Like Cells in Ocular Melanoma through Facilitating CTNNB1 Translation
    The authors demonstrated that the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) reading protein YTHDF3 promoted the translation of the target transcript CTNNB1, contributing to ocular melanoma propagation and migration through m6A methylation.
    [Oncogene]
    Abstract

    The Ubiquitin E3 Ligase ARIH1 Regulates hnRNP E1 Protein Stability, EMT and Breast Cancer Progression
    Investigators demonstrated that hnRNP-E1 protein stability was increased upon ARIH1 silencing, whereas, overexpression of ARIH1 leads to a reduction in hnRNP-E1.
