Los cántabros antes de Roma

Abstract

Inhibition of the tumorigenic potential of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) remains critically important for safe hPSC-based therapy. In this issue of Cell Chemical Biology, Kuang et al. (2017) reveal that the phospho-D-peptide D-3 efficiently induces death of residual hPSCs, but not of differentiated progenies, through high alkaline phosphatase activity in hPSCs.
