新たな万能細胞「ＳＴＡＰ細胞（刺激惹起（じゃっき）性多能性獲得細胞）」の作製を報告した日米共同研究チームの論文に多くの疑問が寄せられている問題で、実験を主導した小保方晴子・研究ユニットリーダーが所属する理化学研究所は１１日、外部の専門家も交えた調査委員会による調査の経過報告を１４日に公表する方針を明らかにした。
　下村文部科学相は１１日の閣議後記者会見で「共同研究者の同意が得られれば、疑義の問題を払拭して改めて論文発表することを希望する」と話し、論文取り下げの方針を支持した。
　著者の一人であるチャールズ・バカンティ・米ハーバード大教授は１０日、「私自身が持っている情報に基づけば、論文を撤回すべき理由は見当たらない」と述べた。同日付の米紙ウォール・ストリート・ジャーナル（電子版）が伝えた。バカンティ教授は「いくつかのミスはあったが、研究成果には影響しない」「重要な論文が周囲からの圧力によって取り下げられるとすれば、悲しむべきことだ」と語った。小保方さんと１０日に連絡を取り、小保方さんもチームの成果への支持を表明したという。画期的な研究成果だけに第三者による検証を早急に進めてほしいですね。14日の経過発表内容にも注目ですね。
