Stem cell hash

摘要

National Primate Research Center in Beaverton announced success in achieving the feat. It is a goal that has frustrated the field since 2005, when a South Korean claim to have produced cloned human stem cells was shown to be fraudulent. Now Mitalipov's work is under scrutiny, after anonymous scientists noted online that the paper contains duplicated and mislabelled images and plots. No one is suggesting that Mitalipov's group is guilty of fraud. But given that the paper was accepted for publication by Cell within four days of being submitted, the incident is drawing attention to the drawbacks of rushing exciting findings into print.
