Pluripotent stem cells can turn (differentiate) into any cell type in the body, such as nerve, muscle or bone, but inevitably some of these stem cells fail to differentiate and end up mixed in with their newly differentiated daughter cells. Scientists have discovered a new agent that may be useful in strategies to kill off pluripotent stem cells from differentiated daughter cells.
