Journal Article
Martinez De La Cruz, B., Markus, R., Malla, S., Haig, M. I., Gell, C., Sang, F., …Knight, H. M. (2021). Modifying the m6A brain methylome by ALKBH5-mediated demethylation: a new contender for synaptic tagging. Molecular Psychiatry, 26(12), 7141-7153. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41380-021-01282-z

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...

Glioblastoma is a malignant brain tumour with a median survival of 14.6 months from diagnosis. Despite maximal surgical resection and concurrent chemoradiotherapy, reoccurrence is inevitable. To try combating the disease at a stage of low residual tu...
