World's 1st iPS cell transplant

World's 1st iPS cell transplant

OSAKA, Japan - Masayo Takahashi (L), project leader at Riken Center for Developmental Biology, inspects an experiment at Riken's stem cell culture laboratory in Kobe, western Japan, in February 2013. A Japanese team has recently conducted the world's first surgery to implant tissue derived from induced pluripotent stem cells into a human body as part of the clinical study led by Takahashi and others.

              KOBE, Japan - Haruko Obokata, the lead author of two controversial STAP cell papers, enters Riken's Center for Developmental Biology in Kobe on July 2, 2014, to participate in experiments to verify the findings of her research. Obokata, 30, will participate in the experiments through Nov. 30 to determine if STAP cells can be produced. The institute said it will secure transparency by video recording her experiments and through other means.

Riken acknowledged as fraudulent the same day some portions of purportedly trailblazing stem cell papers by its researchers and others, saying that the papers' lead author, Haruko Obokata, who belongs to the Kobe laboratory, both manipulated and fabricated data underpinning their findings on the so-called STAP cells.
