Analysis: Stem Cell Fraud Masked True Advancement
Thursday, August 02, 2007
A new analysis says the disgraced South Korean stem cell scientist who was widely accused of fraud a few years ago actually did reach a long-sought goal. It is just not the one he claimed.
The new study suggests Hwang Woo-suk and his team produced stem cells — not through cloning as they contended — but through a different process called parthenogenesis.
That, too, is an achievement scientists have long been pursuing.
In 2004, when Hwang and his colleagues at Seoul National University announced they had produced a human embryo through cloning and that they had recovered stem cells from it, the news made headlines around the world.
