Nanog is cloned by Smith A and Yamanaka S' groups almost at the same time in 2003 (two cell papers). Smith A's group also studied Oct4 () and BMP(). The question is about a recent cell paper by Smith A's group in Cell. According the that paper: "Nanog can command constitutive self-renewal of ES cells (Chambers et al., 2003) and appears able to reverse precommitment; r; i' Z9 [* f4 E" n- \0 B9 A
