A titolo di promemoria: alcuni link per la storia di Hwang Woo-suk Lo scienziato sudcoreano che ha barato con i dati... Le Monde: 23 dicembre 2005 - "Ce genre d'erreur est un acte grave qui nuit aux fondations de la science."  La commission d'enquête de l'université de Séoul a estimé, vendredi 23 décembre, que les résultats des recherches du biologiste sud-coréen Hwang Woo-suk sur la fabrication de cellules souches avaient été délibérément falsifiés. Bbc: 23 dicembre 2005 - South Korea's Hwang Woo-suk was feted as a national hero when, in 2004, his research team said it had successfully cloned a human embryo and produced stem cells from it, a technique that could one day provide cures for a range of diseases. Nature: 23 dicembre 2005 - A rapid investigation of stem-cell researcher Woo Suk Hwang's work at Seoul National University has delivered a damning initial verdict: large amounts of the data in his 2005 landmark paper on patient-specific stem cells were fabricated. Wired: 19 dicembre 2005 - As a quadriplegic, I have much to gain from paralysis treatments that might result from stem-cell research. As such, I've watched with bewilderment as the headlines coming out of cloning pioneer Hwang Woo-suk's lab have veered from breakthroughs to scandals. First came hope, when Hwang and Dr. Gerald Schatten of the University of Pittsburgh announced the successful creation of embryonic stem-cell lines in a jointly authored article in Science. This was front-page news about techniques that could one day open the door to effective treatments for many currently incurable medical conditions, such as my own. Nine years ago in a car accident, I suffered a contusion injury to my third cervical vertebra that rendered my body below my shoulders useless. Bbc: 8 agosto 2005 - In a series on leading health experts, the BBC News website meets Dr Hwang Woo-suk - the man who last week reported he had cloned a dog called Snuppy. Dr Hwang and his team from Seoul National University first shot to fame last year when they announced that they had cloned 30 human embryos. Since then they have cloned more and successfully extracted stem cells from them that are genetically matched to specific people with various diseases. Science: 17 giugno 2005 - Patient-specific, immune-matched human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are anticipated to be of great biomedical importance for studies of disease and development and to advance clinical deliberations regarding stem cell transplantation. 8:31:30 PM    comment [];
