- debacle 12y ago> She claimed there was a secret knack for creating STAP cells, but has refused to publicise it, asserting it is a subject of her future papers. Also, from wikipedia: > In July 2014, Obokata was allowed to join Riken’s (a state-backed institute) efforts in July under monitoring by a third party. She tried to replicate her own study using genetically manipulated mouse spleen cells that glow green if a gene indicative of pluripotency is activated. She fails to reproduce ‘STAP cell’ to back up her claimed discovery.
