Scientist Hwang Woo-suk actually created human stem cells

US scientists have confirmed that Korean scientist Hwang Woo-suk, who was deposed because of a false report of human embryonic stem cell production, actually inadvertently did this with another technique. he himself did not know.

Hwang Woo-suk's new analysis of the study was published in Cell magazine. Two Dr. Kitai Kim and George Daley belong The Children's Hospital of Boston (Massachussetts) has demonstrated that the Korean scientist has created human embryonic stem cells by monosynthetic reproduction, not by cloning techniques, as he claimed. .

In the method of monoclinic reproduction, the normal process in plants and some animals such as reptiles and primitive ovules is stimulated to begin dividing as fertilized and developed with control by DNA. it's him. This method of reproductive monotherapy is difficult to perform in mammals.

For cloning techniques, scientists extract the nucleus of a non-fertilized ovule to replace it with another person's nucleus to create identical human embryonic stem cells. Mr. Woo-suk affirmed that he carried out this technique in 2004 and was mentioned on the front pages by the world press. A year later, he confessed to forging the work.
