Haruko Obokata5
Haruko Obokata (小保方 晴子, Obokata Haruko, born 1983) is a former stem-cell biologist and research unit leader at Japan's Laboratory for Cellular Reprogramming, Riken Center for Developmental Biology. (wikipedia.org)
Japanese female scientist Haruko Obokata, the creator of "acidic" stem cells, around which a scandal broke out due to suspicions of falsification of scientific data, does not agree with the conclusions about the falsification of experiments. (vechnayamolodost.ru)
The papers published by Haruko Obokata in the scientific journal Nature in January detailed simple ways to reprogramme mature animal cells back to an embryonic-like state, allowing them to generate many types of tissues - offering hope for a way of replacing damaged cells or growing new organs in humans. (tuoitrenews.vn)
Or Haruko Obokata, a stem-cell researcher at Japan's top institute, who had two papers published in Nature retracted this year. (stao.ca)
For example RIKEN concluded that the STAP study's leader, Haruko Obokata, Ph.D., was guilty of misconduct . (grmrc.org)
Special Rapporteur1
This event is in light of the soon to be released report of the UN Special Rapporteur on Contemporary Forms of Slavery, Tom Obokata. (ngocongo.org)
Riken7
In response to allegations of irregularities in Obokata's research publications involving STAP cells, Riken launched an investigation that discovered examples of scientific misconduct on the part of Obokata. (wikipedia.org)
Obokata became a guest researcher at the Riken Center for Developmental Biology in 2011, and in 2013 became head of the Lab for Cellular Reprogramming. (wikipedia.org)
At Riken, Obokata studied stem cells in collaboration with Vacanti, Teruhiko Wakayama, and Yoshiki Sasai, with two of her research papers accepted for publication in Nature in 2013. (wikipedia.org)
In 2014 Riken launched an investigation into the issue, and announced on April 1 that Obokata was guilty of scientific misconduct on two of the six charges initially brought against her. (wikipedia.org)
The Riken investigation document reported: In manipulating the image data of two different gels and using data from two different experiments, Dr. Obokata acted in a manner that can by no means be permitted. (wikipedia.org)
Hailed by the global scientific community, the Nature papers drew acclaim for Obokata and for RIKEN, one of Japan's top scientific research institutes. (tuoitrenews.vn)
Obokata sidestepped questions at the news conference about whether her discovery was used by RIKEN to burnish its name ahead of a government status upgrade that would bring it more funding and why she alone was called to task for the papers. (tuoitrenews.vn)
STAP5
Obokata also reported that her STAP cells existed. (wikipedia.org)
Although Obokata claimed not to know how this was possible, "the obvious, and rather depressing, explanation is that her so-called Stap cells were just regular embryonic stem cells that someone had taken from a freezer and relabelled. (wikipedia.org)
In July 2014, Obokata participated, with monitoring by a third party, in Riken's effort to experimentally reproduce the original STAP cell findings. (wikipedia.org)
Obokata said the papers had been written to describe the phenomenon of the cells, known as Stimulus-triggered Acquisition of Pluripotency (STAP) cells, and that she had thought to write another laying out the experimental methods in detail. (tuoitrenews.vn)
Obokata said that belief in the STAP cells' potential had sustained her through years of research, and still did. (tuoitrenews.vn)
Replicate2
But questions soon emerged about the research methods used by Obokata and her fellow authors, including Japanese researchers as well as some at Harvard University and Brigham and Women's Hospital in the United States, after other researchers could not replicate the results. (tuoitrenews.vn)
Obokata claimed she found a way to generate embryonic stem cells from an adult cell through simple stress, but her peers were unable to replicate the blockbuster results. (stao.ca)

Upon publication of the papers, Obokata "was hailed as a bright new star in the scientific firmament and a national hero. (wikipedia.org)
In June 2014, Obokata agreed to retract both papers. (wikipedia.org)
Year1
In October 2014, an investigative panel appointed by Waseda University gave Obokata one year to revise her dissertation or lose her degree. (wikipedia.org)
Report2
According to an Asahi Shimbun news report, Obokata offered to retract her doctoral dissertation following allegations that she plagiarized segments of her dissertation from publicly available documents from the U.S. National Institute of Health website. (wikipedia.org)
In the report, Obokata said that based on an independent assessment of available information from many sources, including victims and government accounts, he "regards it as reasonable to conclude that forced labor among Uyghur, Kazakh and other ethnic minorities in sectors such as agriculture and manufacturing has been occurring in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China. (newarab.com)
News1
It can definitely be explained how the mistakes happened," Obokata told a news conference carried live by most Japanese television stations. (tuoitrenews.vn)
Results1
Obokata and Isogai (2007) concluded that the wet strength development of PAE-containing cellulose sheets results primarily from ester bond formation between azetidinium groups of PAE and carboxyl groups of cellulose fibers. (ncsu.edu)

Obokata, 30, became a sensation for her youth and stylishness in Japan, where scientific discoveries tend to be the province of older men. (tuoitrenews.vn)

Sasai4
At Riken, Obokata studied stem cells in collaboration with Vacanti, Teruhiko Wakayama, and Yoshiki Sasai, with two of her research papers accepted for publication in Nature in 2013. (wikipedia.org)
In a note to Vacanti, Sasai wrote that Obokata had discovered "a magic spell" that led to their experimental success, described later in The Guardian as "a surprisingly simple way of turning ordinary body cells…into something very much like embryonic stem cells" by soaking them in "a weak bath of citric acid. (wikipedia.org)
Dr Sasai was a colleague of lead author Haruko Obokata on two stem-cell papers published in Nature earlier this year. (bioedge.org)
An investigation by the Riken Centre found that Ms Obokata was guilty of research misconduct, but not Dr Sasai. (bioedge.org)
