YTHDF1 Phase Separation in SSC Fate Transition
2026-08-11
Fang et al. show that liquid-liquid phase separation of the m6A reader YTHDF1 promotes direct conversion of spermatogonial stem cells into neural stem cell-like cells by activating the IκB-NF-κB-CCND1 axis. The study links biomolecular condensation to selective translational control and provides a mechanistic framework for analyzing protein-RNA condensates during cell-state transitions.
