Stem Cell Research Paper Recalled

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the making-the-grade dept.

MattSparkes writes "One of the best-known stem cell papers describes adult cells that seemed to hold the same promise as embryonic stem cells. Now some of the data contained within the paper is being questioned, after staff at a consumer science magazine noticed errors. It shows how even peer-reviewed papers can sometimes 'slip through the net' and get to publication with inaccurate data."

    I find it interesting that these are the very reports the anti fetal stem cell people always quote. Seems like a consistent theme of anti global warming and anti fetal stem cell factions, psuedoscience.

    Saved from what? Is that some religious thing? If so, why include a reference to that in your comment? All you do is totally discredit yourself.
