Cloned calves through DNA tests

Cloned calves through DNA tests

A university group and a quasi-governmental research center say July 17 they confirmed through DNA tests that twin calves born earlier in July were produced by cloning somatic cells taken from an adult cow. The photo shows Yukio Tsunoda, a Kinki University professor (C), and researchers attending a news conference to confirm the cloning at the Ishikawa Prefectural Livestock Research Center in Ishikawa Prefecture on the Sea of Japan coast.

    STAP cell research paper questioned

    STAP cell research paper questioned

    TOKYO, Japan - File photo taken in January 2014 in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, shows Haruko Obokata (L), a scientist at the Riken Center for Developmental Biology, and University of Yamanashi professor Teruhiko Wakayama, at a press conference on "stimulus-triggered acquisition of pluripotency," or STAP, a method of generating pluripotent cells. Wakayama said March 10, 2014, he has told his co-authors including Obokata that their research paper on STAP cells should be retracted, citing the lack of credibility of some data used in the research.

      Stem cell research paper questioned

      KOFU, Japan - University of Yamanashi professor Teruhiko Wakayama meets reporters in Kofu, Yamanashi Prefecture, on March 10, 2014. Wakayama has told his co-authors that their research paper on what appeared to be a groundbreaking method for producing stem cells should be retracted and resubmitted. Questions have been raised about irregular images contained in the paper, written by a group led by Haruko Obotaka at the Center for Developmental Biology of the government-affiliated Riken institute, on a method it named "stimulus-triggered acquisition of pluripotency" or STAP.

          Nara Park nettles grow poison thorns as defense against deer?

          NARA, Japan - Researchers at Nara Women's University believe that the wild nettles in Nara Park (bottom photo) have grown poison-tipped thorns probably as a defense mechanism against nettle-eating deer (top photo) in the park. According to a study conducted by a research group headed by Hiroaki Sato, a Nara Women's University associate professor who specializes in insect biology, nettles in Nara Park have 50 times more thorns that nettles found in southern Nara Prefecture and elsewhere. The researchers believe that, as a survival mechanism, Nara Park nettles developed more poison-tipped thorns after deer were brought from Ibaraki Prefecture to Nara Park about 1,200 years ago. (Kyodo)
