Description was very similar to a paper published in the U.S. scientific journal in 2005.

In the paper a new master cell researchers RIKEN announced in the British science magazine " STAP cells" , there is a description that was very similar to a paper published in the U.S. scientific journal in 2005 , cited without permission that there is a suspicion that you have been found on the 28th . RIKEN It seems to be "We are aware that there are indications description of a similar " is investigating along with the unnatural image data .
Description 's are very similar , complementary parts described a method of examining whether there is any problem in the chromosome of the STAP cells . Seen , not the main part of the paper , and does not affect the basis of content , but in 2005 , researchers in Germany of paper embryonic stem cells of mice that were published in the Journal of the biology of the United States on (ES cells) it was nearly identical over the 10 lines and text . There is no mention of the referenced or cited . Yokoyari from entering because it is research results too breakthrough it might be such that can not be helped . I feel like the process of becoming which ascertains through scrutiny and various discussions .



理化学研究所の研究者が英科学誌に発表した新たな万能細胞「ＳＴＡＰ細胞」の論文で、２００５（平成１７）年に米科学誌に掲載された論文と酷似した記述があり、無断で引用した疑いがあることが２８日判明した。理研は「記述が似ているとの指摘があることは把握している」と述べ、不自然な画像データとともに調査を進めているもようだ。
　記述が酷似しているのは、ＳＴＡＰ細胞の染色体に異常がないかを調べた方法を説明した補足部分。論文の主要部ではなく、内容の根幹には影響しないとみられるが、ドイツの研究者らが０５年に、米国の生物学の学会誌に発表したマウスの胚性幹細胞（ＥＳ細胞）に関する論文の文章と１０行にわたってほぼ同一だった。引用や参照したとの記述はない。余りにも画期的な研究成果ですので横槍が入るのはしょうがないことなのかもしれません。様々な議論や精査を通じて確かなものになっていく過程のように感じますね。
