A study provides evidence of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug Meclofenamic acid (MA) is a highly selective FTO inhibitor, which leads to increased levels of m6A modification in glioblastoma cells, inhibiting tumor progression and prolonging the life span of glioblastoma stem cell (GSC) transplanted mice (Huang et al., 2015; Cui et al., 2017). The gene discussed is FTO; the disease is neoplasm.
