    Launch of the “Alliance of Severo Ochoa Centres and Maria de Maeztu Units of Excellence”
    • The Secretary of State for R&D+i, Carmen Vela, chaired the kickoff meeting of the new Severo Ochoa and Maria Maeztu Alliance of Excellence.
    • The alliance’s target is to internationally promote and strengthen the centres and units accredited with this distinction, to give their research a higher profile.

    Developmental Cell: A ‘social control’ system guarantees embryonic stem cell purity

    This control mechanism is important for pluripotency in the development of mammalian embryos 
    Photo 1: The authors are holding in their hands illustrations of cells expressing different combinations of membrane and nuclei fluorescent proteins. This corresponds to the method we developed (present in the article) to differentially label cells expressing different genes (with the codes A to F). Each cell expresses a different combination of 2 genes from a pool of 6 different genes (A, B, C, D, E, and F).
