Nowadays, thanks in large part to an understanding of how difficult both technologies actually are - and partly also to the human-cloning fraud perpetrated by the Korean scientist Hwang Woo Suk in 2004 - scientists are a lot more skeptical about the significance of each new claim. That's why there hasn't been so much excitement about a report published online Thursday by the journal Stem Cells. The authors claim to have created cloned human embryos that they believe are capable of producing stem cells - the raw material for all of the body's specialized tissues, from heart to muscle...
Hwang Woo-Suk, the Korean scientist who gained international media attention for making fraudulent claims about cloning a human embryo, may have inadvertently made a significant breakthrough in stem cell research, a team of scientists led by a Harvard professor announced last week...
...study published today in the journal Cell Stem Cell, a team of Harvard researchers reveals that the dubious stem cells created by Korean scientist Woo Suk Hwang were indeed historic, just not for the reason that he originally claimed...
...near-miraculous medical treatments-and because Yamanaka did not use human embryos, his technique offered researchers everywhere a way to sidestep the ethical controversies that have dogged the field since its birth. But it was March 2006, just months after the South Korean stem-cell scientist Hwang Woo Suk-who had become an international sensation after claiming to have cloned a human embryo, a first-had been exposed as a fraud. As another Asian stem-cell scientist announcing a surprise advance, Yamanaka knew his peers would put him under the microscope. "I was very nervous," he recalls. A few weeks...
...permanent professor at Harvard, his ties to the University run deep. He is a native Cantabrigian and served as a junior fellow in the Society of Fellows from 1998 to 2001 after finishing a Rhodes Scholarship and a degree from Yale Law School. His wife, Jeannie C. Y. Suk, became an assistant professor at the Law School this year, and the two were married in 1999 at the Harvard Club of New York, according to The New York Times. Presiding at their ceremony was Harold H. Koh ’75, who is now the dean of Yale Law School...
