Japan - June 16th, 2014

A co-author of STAP cell papers recanted, which were published by the British science journal Nature. Considering that he could not replicate Obokata’s experiments, the co-author claimed that the cells used in the experiments did not appear to be STAP cells after all and that they may have actually been embryonic stem cells. http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2014/06/16/national/science-health/stap-paper-co-author-recants/#.U6DhZI2Sx16
