Purported "STAP cells" likely came from embryonic stem cells

TOKYO, Japan - Haruko Obokata, then a researcher with the Riken research institute, announces the creation of the "STAP cells," claimed to be capable of developing into any type of tissue, in Kobe, western Japan, in this file photo taken in January 2014. A panel under the government-backed institute said Dec. 26, 2014, that the STAP cells that Obokata claimed to have created were likely cells generated from embryonic stem cells. Obokata left her job at Riken on Dec. 21. (Kyodo)
