    Rbm46 Inhibits Reactive Oxygen Species in Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells through Modulating BNIP3-Mediated Mitophagy

    The authors revealed the pivotal role of RNA-binding motif protein 46 (RBM46) in ESCs, acting as a direct post transcriptional regulator of ROS levels by modulating BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19 kDa protein-interacting protein 3 (Bnip3) mRNA expression.
