Panel: No data for stem cell claim 조사위원회 : 줄기세포생성주장에 대한 근거 없음. Thursday, December 29, 2005; Posted: 3:27 a.m. EST (08:27 GMT) Hwang Woo-suk quit his post last week after the university panel said he had falsified research results. 황우석 -- 줄기세포연구결과가 거짖이었음이 서울대 조사위원회로 부터 밝혀진뒤, 지난주 교수직을 그만 뒀다. SEOUL, South Korea (CNN) -- An expert panel from Seoul National University has dealt another blow to scientific claims by former researcher Hwang Woo-suk, saying he did not produce patient-specific stem cells as he had claimed in a landmark research paper. 서울, 대한민국(CNN)--전임 연구관 황우석이, 권위있는 과학신문에 환자맞춤형 줄기세포를 생성해 냈다고 발표한 내용이, 실제로는 생성된적이 없었다고, 서울대 조사위원회의 한 조사관이 발표한것은, 과학계에 또 다른 실망을 안겨주고 말았다. "This panel couldn't find stem cells that match patients' DNA regarding the 2005 paper, and it believes that Hwang's team didn't secure scientific data to prove that," Roe Jung-hye, the university's dean of research affairs, said Thursday. "이번 조사위원회의 검증에서는 2005년도 발표된 논문에 열거된, 환자의 DNA와 맞는 세포조직을 발견하지 못했다. 목요일에 노중혜, 검증위원장은 황우석의 연구팀이 증명할만한 연구자료를 확보하고 있지 않는것으로 사료된다고 설명했읍니다. Last week, the panel said Hwang falsified results of nine of 11 stem cell lines he claimed to have created in the paper published in May in the U.S. journal Science. Within hours, Hwang said he was leaving his post with the school. 지난주,미국의 과학저널지 5월호에, 그가 생성시켰다고 발표했던,11개의 줄기세포중 9개의 결과는 거짖이었었다고 조사위원회는 발표한바있다. 그로부터 몇시간후 황교수는 학교에서 맡은 교수직을 떠날것이다라고 말했었다. The university launched an investigation in November after ethics questions were raised. In its first report, the nine-member panel said laboratory data from 11 stem cell lines actually came from only two stem cell lines, and said it was conducting DNA tests on the two to verify whether they were patient-specific. "After three different institutes finished analyzing DNA fingerprints from number 2 and 3 stem cell lines, it was found that the lines do not match patients' somatic cells," said Roe. The stem cells actually came from fertilized eggs, he said. The South Korean research team led by Hwang announced in February 2004 that they had created human embryos through cloning, and extracted embryonic stem cells. Stem cell research has been touted by scientists as a possible step toward finding cures for diseases and afflictions including Alzheimer's disease. Hwang first came under fire in November, when he admitted his team used eggs donated from junior scientists in his laboratory, a practice frowned upon because of coercion concerns. Later, Roh Sung-il, a hospital administrator who had worked with Hwang, said the researcher admitted fabricating the results in the journal article. Roh also accused Hwang of contaminating the stem cell lines. The next day, a colleague said Hwang's research was false, but Hwang countered, "Our research team did produce patient-specific embryonic stem cells and we have the original technology to produce them." In response to criticism, Hwang did admit that six stem cell lines had been contaminated and destroyed, but said he was defrosting five other stem cell lines and could validate his earlier work. Meanwhile, Hwang said he asked the journal to withdraw the article on the study, indicating it cannot be used for future research, and the U.S. co-author asked that his name be removed. The fallout from the scandal could impact stem-cell research as a whole, possibly requiring researchers to be more forthcoming and transparent in order to secure funding.
