Bridging naïve and primed pluripotency

Pluripotent cells generate all types of cells in the body and have largely been classified dichotomously into two types: naïve and primed. Arguing against a binary classification system, a study now discovers a unique transition state between naïve and primed pluripotency and describes the signals that control this transition.
