m6A modifications in fetal hematopoiesis and HSC maintenance. A Mammalian HSCs are first formed in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM) region from hemogenic endothelial cells (HECs) as a result of the trans-differentiation process of endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition (EHT). Due to interactions with different readers, m6A-modified transcripts contribute to EHT by promoting pro-EHT, meanwhile suppressing anti-EHT programs. B Nascent fetal HSCs migrate to the fetal liver, undergoing rapid and drastic proliferation. (C) Adult HSCs are maintained in the niche microenvironment of the bone marrow. The schematics of the principal m6A-regulated pathways occurring at these sites are shown in the bottom panel
