Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are involved in the aetiology of atherosclerosis, but whether methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3)-catalysed N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modulates the contribution of VSMCs to atherosclerosis remains elusive. METHODS AND RESULTS: We generated tamoxifen-inducible VSMC-specific METTL3 knockout mice with VSMC lineage tracing and found that VSMC-specific METTL3 deficiency...
