《STAP論文》STAP細胞はES細胞だったのでは、という疑いが強まっているとの報道もあります。共著者の若山教授は記者会見で、どんな解析結果を発表するのでしょうか。会見は14時からです。 pic.twitter.com/DcwKOIa4ND

Breaking: Wakayama says genetic test reveals STAP SCs, supposed to be constructed from mice in his lab, were not from the mice #STAPgate

2014-06-16 14:44:20

Breaking: Wakayama did ACTH + LIF and didn't try 2i + LIF for STAP, in which ES grows. Only Obokata conducted 2i + LIF for STAP #STAPgate

2014-06-16 15:03:13

Breaking: Wakayama constructed FI-SC. Only Obokata conducted culture of Jaki, Meki & LIF with FI-SC #STAPgate

2014-06-16 15:04:43

Breaking: Wakayama finished the exp because his goal was constructing STAP-SCs and he found successful STAP-SCs with ACTH + LIF #STAPgate

2014-06-16 15:05:58

(Note: Wakayama's evidence implies Obokata grasped the bottleneck of STAP SCs exp. He only constructed STAP SCs subsequently #STAPgate)

2014-06-16 15:10:18

Breaking: Wakayama says students in his lab gave ES cells to Obokata in those days. It means she could use it with no retstcirtion #STAPgate

2014-06-16 16:16:59

Breaking: Wakayama says he couldn't tell cell aggregation of STAP from ones of ES because he had never seen ones of ES those days #STAPgate

2014-06-16 16:19:07

(Note: In my opinion, Obokata seemed to check whether Wakayama could detect any fabrication at each step of STAP exps #STAPgate)

2014-06-16 16:22:05

(Note: In short, she has always tried to deceive Wakayama in order to fabricate STAP cells & SCs. It looks strongly intentional #STAPgate)

2014-06-16 16:24:12

(Note: But if it's true, she can be a highly intellectual criminal. It's less likely I feel... who trained her??? #STAPgate)

@TJO_datasci @cells_nnm @ProfessorKenLee TJO, can you plz sum up the press conference in one or two tweets here in English? Key points?

2014-06-17 00:30:43

@pknoepfler @TJO_datasci @cells_nnm @ProfessorKenLee Wakayama gave mice with GFP on Chr18, but received STAP cell with GFP on Chr15.

2014-06-17 00:34:03

@pknoepfler @TJO_datasci @cells_nnm @ProfessorKenLee RIKEN found frozen ES cells in Obokata lab which has GFP on Chr15.

2014-06-17 00:35:24

@pknoepfler @TJO_datasci @cells_nnm @ProfessorKenLee Wakayama said now there was no evidence to support existence of STAP.

2014-06-17 00:39:15

@pknoepfler @TJO_datasci @cells_nnm @ProfessorKenLee No comment yet from Obokata and her attorney.

2014-06-17 00:43:25

@pknoepfler @TJO_datasci @cells_nnm @ProfessorKenLee Don't blame Obokata alone. Many big names at CDB endorsed and used STAP for themselves

2014-06-17 01:28:20

@pknoepfler @cells_nnm @ProfessorKenLee How about one more interview with Teru on your blog? It must help many researchers outside Japan

2014-06-17 01:47:23

Paul Knoepfler @pknoepfler

@TJO_datasci @cells_nnm @ProfessorKenLee I will invite him. Let's see.
