ノップラーブログに若山氏インタビュー。
私（若山氏）の海外の友人数人から部分的成功のメールが届いた。
私は逃げない、私の結果はすべて真実だからだ。ただ、時間がかかるものなので、少なくとも1年待って欲しい。
そうすれば、その間に私なり他の誰かなりがきっと成功するのを確信している。
3. What is your own level of confidence in STAP cells at this point? Are you getting more concerned?
Teru: Before I left RIKEN, I succeeded to make STAP cell from spleen. But only 1 time. At that time, Dr. Obokata taught me very well.
Now, some of my friends (not Japan) sent me e-mails, which, reported partial success (Oct expression only). Therefore I believe
that within one year, someone will publish about STAP generation.
Finally?Do you have any other questions or concerns that I did not ask but that you want to address? If so please add more.
Teru: I do not escape. Because in my results everything is true. However, it is going to take time to reproduce the new technique.
For example, the first cloned animal, Dolly, wasn’t reproduced for one and half years after it was published. Human cloned ES cell paper
has still not yet been reproduced. Therefore, please wait at least one year. I believe that during this period someone or myself will success to reproduce it.
