オックスフォード大の研究者がオボコに詳しい実験プロトコルを
要求したが、無視されたと書いてあるな。
Meanwhile, several researchers have struggled to repeat the stem
cell experiments. "We've tried a few times but always
unsuccessfully. I have to say, unfortunately, that I am now very
sceptical of the published results," says José Silva, a stem cell
researcher at the University of Cambridge.
Too little information
It may merely be a case of not enough information: Sally Cowley,
head of the James Martin Stem Cell Facility at the University of
Oxford, says her lab has not yet attempted to replicate the
production of these "STAP" cells because the full protocol is not
available. "I emailed Obokata for a detailed protocol, but have had
no reply," she says.
"It is a failure of the biomedical sciences publishing system in
general, in my opinion, that there is rarely enough detail to be
able to reproduce procedures accurately," she adds. Cowley hopes
this high-profile example will encourage papers to supply detailed
protocols as a matter of course.
