The patient-specific stem cells that helped make cloning expert Hwang Woo-suk a national hero when he claimed to have constructed them in a report published in the journal 'Science' in 2005, do not exist, the nine-member investigative panel at Seoul National University announced on Thursday. The five stem cells that Hwang��s team labeled as tailor-made were in fact confirmed to be those of fertilized eggs from the Mizmedi Hospital, which had collaborated with Hwang's research team. The announcement was made by Roe Jung-hye, head of SNU's Research Affairs Office.
��The eight allegedly tailor-made stem cell lines -- including those five that were frozen at an early stage -- don��t match the DNA of patients, and turned out to be those extracted from fertilized eggs stored at Mizmedi.�� the panel said. Hwang mentioned the five frozen stem cells at his press conference as evidence that would prove his claim that he had in fact made patient-specific stem cells. ��Based on DNA test results by three independent institutions, the stem cell lines Nos. 2 and 3 did not match the DNA of patient��s somatic cells and were confirmed to be that of fertilized eggs from Mizmedi" |
