  • The investigating panel at South Korea's Seoul National University (SNU) has just issued its final report: The reviewers demonstrated, conclusively, that the 11 patient-derived stem cell lines using the technique of SCNT (somatic cell nuclear transfer) reported in the May, 2005 issue of Science (308: 1777-1783) were all fakes.

  • The only other source of hESC's was thought to be through the technically demanding procedure of SCNT in which a patient-specific, genetically identical line of hESC's is derived by placing the 46-chromosome nucleus of the patient into the cytoplasm of an unfertilized, donated ovum whose nucleus has been removed.
