m6A mRNA methylation in human brain is disrupted in Lewy body disorders (2023)
Journal Article
Martinez De La Cruz, B., Gell, C., Markus, R., Macdonald, I., Fray, R., & Knight, H. M. (2023). m6A mRNA methylation in human brain is disrupted in Lewy body disorders. Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology, 49(1), Article e12885. https://doi.org/10.1111/nan.12885

N6-methyladenosine modification of RNA (m6A) regulates translational control which may influence neuronal dysfunction underlying neurodegenerative diseases. Using microscopy and a machine learning approach, we performed cellular profiling of m6A-RNA... Read More about m6A mRNA methylation in human brain is disrupted in Lewy body disorders.

Modifying the m6A brain methylome by ALKBH5-mediated demethylation: a new contender for synaptic tagging (2021)
Journal Article

Synaptic plasticity processes, which underlie learning and memory formation, require RNA to be translated local to synapses. The synaptic tagging hypothesis has previously been proposed to explain how mRNAs are available at specific activated synapse...
