Mettl3-mediated m6A RNA methylation regulates the fate of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and osteoporosis

mRNA modifications have been shown to regulate mammalian development and disease. Here the authors show that the m6A methyltransferase Mettl3 ensures translational efficiency of the mesenchymal stem cell lineage allocator Pth1r, promoting osteogenesis and protecting from osteoporosis.
