The CNIO describe how embryonic stem cells keep optimal conditions for use in regenerative medicine

(Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Oncol ó gicas (CNIO)) * Researchers from the Proteomics Core Unit at CNIO have described molecular mechanisms, unknown to date, involved in the maintenance of the na ï ve state of the embryonic stem cells* The na ï ve state is optimal for the quest for treatments for heart disease or neurodegenerative disorders, but it is also the most unstable and difficult to maintain* The results of the study, published in 'Nature Communications', might prove useful to study some types of cancer
