Abstract

The dysregulation of the m6A epitranscriptomic networks have been reported to contribute to the development of gliomas. Here, the authors utilize induced pluripotent stem cell-derived astrocytes with a p53 mutation and demonstrate that mutant p53 upregulates the m6A reader YTHDF2, resulting in the initiation of gliomas.
