Epitranscriptomic modifications of RNA, particularly N6-methyladenosine (m6A), have emerged as pivotal players in cancer biology. RNA m6A modifications dynamically regulate gene expression, influencing various aspects of RNA processing, stability, and translation. In the context of cancer, dysregulation of RNA m6A modification has been implicated in tumorigenesis, metastasis, therapy resistance, and the tumor micro environment. ...

Mohr-Tranebjaerg syndrome (MTS), also known as deafness-dystonia-optic neuronopathy syndrome is an X-linked recessive, progressive, and neurodegenerative disorder resulting from mutations in the nuclear-encoded deafness dystonia peptide 1 (DDP1)/translocase of mitochondrial inner membrane 8A ( TIMM8A ) gene. This genetic disorder was first described in 1996, when the deafness dystonia peptide (DDP) gene was identified in a family with deafness, dystonia, and cognitive decline....
