@TJO_datasci
Live: He claims STAP study showed some findings inconsistent with EScs e.g. placenta of chimeric mice, so he cannot deny STAP #STAPgate

@TJO_datasci
Live: (But @ProfessorKenLee 's latest attempt implies dying cells can express Oct4 gene strongly without auto fluorescence) #STAPgate

@TJO_datasci
Live: "STAP is less proliferous and easy to distinguish from EScs that is much proliferous. They cannot be EScs" #STAPgate

Sasai "We can distinguish GFP from auto fluorescense by FACS." How do you explain Ext Fig 5g? #STAPgate http://t.co/ApFqHJjuOQ

Live: (He and RIKEN looks still sticking to STAP. I think they never retract the patent application, even if the papers retracted) #STAPgate

@TJO_datasci
Live: Dr. Sasai agrees retraction of the Nature papers, but he still declares STAP really exists and maybe he wants to protect it #STAPgate

Correcting difficulties existed in geographical location; Sasai in Kobe, Wakayama in Yamanashi, Vacanti in the US, so he couldn’t #STAPgate

@rjgeller
@jseita Yes, apparently the deputy director of the entire CDB (Dr. Sasai) has NO responsibility for ANYTHING.
