Scientists May Have Repeated "Acid Bath" Stem Cell Work

A respected scientist says he may have made controversial "acid bath" STAP stem cells--but via strenuous trituration (manipulation with a pipette) and NOT via acid. Other scientists are rushing to try to repeat this--even as two images in the controversial Harvard/Riken paper have been dubbed falsified. The approach is considered important enough that Riken plans to try to repeat the work for a year, despite the falsified images. The cells represent a third kind of pluripotential stem cell.
