| 1 | How does ALKBH5-mediated m6A demethylation mechanistically link to spermatocyte… The study shows ALKBH5 deficiency causes increased m6A levels and spermatocyte apoptosis, but the molecular pathway connecting RNA methylation changes to cell d… gap-pubmed-20260410-143043-fed386de | open | 0.770 | RNA metabolism | 2026-04-10 | Open → |
| 2 | What determines ALKBH5's substrate specificity for different mRNA targets? The authors identify 1,551 differentially expressed genes but don't explain why ALKBH5 selectively targets certain mRNAs over others. This specificity mechanism… gap-pubmed-20260410-143043-4c8bace6 | open | 0.740 | RNA metabolism | 2026-04-10 | Open → |
