Human naive pluripotent stem cells are generally believed to possess an unrestricted capacity to differentiate into both embryonic and extraembryonic lineages. However, two new studies now uncover a role for the Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) as a lineage gatekeeper that shields the potency of these cells.
