Nature、Science聚焦日本干细胞丑闻的最终结局

2015-02-12 叶予 生物通

STAP干细胞造假事件是2014年生物领域最大的丑闻。去年一月,两篇Nature文章声称通过酸浴和机械压力能够诱导出多能干细胞(STAP)。但这两篇文章最终却在一片质疑声中黯然撤稿。现在,日本RIKEN终于宣布了对相关研究人员的处罚决定。STAP干细胞丑闻去年一直笼罩着日本乃至整个干细胞领域。四名日本生物学家因此受到了处罚,其中文章第一作者遭到解雇,一名共同作者被停职。Nature认为,这看似严厉

STAP干细胞造假事件是2014年生物领域最大的丑闻。去年一月,两篇Nature文章声称通过酸浴和机械压力能够诱导出多能干细胞(STAP)。但这两篇文章最终却在一片质疑声中黯然撤稿。现在,日本RIKEN终于宣布了对相关研究人员的处罚决定。



STAP干细胞丑闻去年一直笼罩着日本乃至整个干细胞领域。四名日本生物学家因此受到了处罚,其中文章第一作者遭到解雇,一名共同作者被停职。Nature认为,这看似严厉的处罚并没有什么实际意义,因为这两名研究人员本来就没在RIKEN任职了。

这次丑闻的主角是小保方晴子(Haruko Obokata),她是两篇论文的第一作者,也是实施并协调各项实验的关键人物。RIKEN决定给小保方晴子最严厉的处罚——解职。然而,她去年十二月就因为无法重复实验结果而辞职。(延伸阅读:Nature:STAP干细胞兴衰始末,如何瞒天过海)
著名的小鼠克隆专家若山照彦(Teruhiko Wakayama),是小保方晴子2011年进入RIKEN时的监管人。RIKEN给他的处罚是停职,但若山照彦早在2012年就去了山梨大学。不过若山照彦自己声称将会为这件事负责,辞去山梨大学发育生物学中心的主任职位,当一个普通的研究人员。

文章共同作者丹羽仁史(Hitoshi Niwa),因为只涉及了少数相关实验,因此只受到了警告处分。文章的另一位作者,监督小保方晴子工作的笹井芳树已经于去年八月自杀。

RIKEN给竹市雅俊(Masatoshi Takeichi)的处罚最轻——训诫(reprimand)。竹市雅俊自2000年CDB成立就一直担任该中心的主任,并于去年十一月退休。不过他自动要求更严厉一点的惩罚,包括减薪三个月。

现在竹市雅俊仍然是实验室负责人和CDB的特别顾问,他在声明中表示,对没能发现这次学术不端行为并阻止文章发表深感自责,日后将会更努力地推动科研诚信。

RIKEN方面表示,还在对STAP事件的后续问题进行调查。比如,RIKEN是否应当将相关研究经费归还政府,是否要撤回与哈佛大学一同提出的STAP专利申请。RIKEN也在拟定执行方案,希望防止类似的学术不端再次发生。

干细胞">干细胞技术产业化是韩忠朝最后一项事业,这位2014年国家科技进步奖一等奖得主,最希望的是中国能有在国际上有一席之地的干细胞高科技企业。“现在就想怎么样架一座桥,把自己的、别人的一些好的科研成果,转化成科技产品、社会效益”。 1月9日,国家科学技术奖励大会在北京人民大会堂举行。中国医学科学院北京协和医学院教授、国家干细胞工程技术研究中心主任韩忠朝与军事医学科学院联合完成的“成体

eLife:工程师在人干细胞上施加“挤压力”

当使用光学镊子将一个微小的珠挤压在人干细胞外后,研究者知道了在细胞中机械力怎样引发的一个关键信号通路。 根据美国加利福尼亚大学圣地亚哥分校生物工程师Yingxiao Wang领导的一项研究,挤压有助于释放细胞内储存的钙离子,并且可以打开细胞膜通道允许离子流入细胞内。 研究人员已经知道,作用在干细胞上的机械力,在细胞分化成各种组织—从骨骼到血液过程中起了非常重要的作用。但是,到现在为止,我们还不

Cell Rep:肠癌干细胞被调节引发肠癌的分子机理

近日,发表在国际杂志Cell Reports上的一篇研究论文中,来自美国桑福德-伯纳姆医学研究所(Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute)的研究人员通过研究发现了一种新型的精细干细胞信号通路,如果该通路被打断则会引发肠道肿瘤,相关研究或可帮助理解干细胞如何引发肿瘤,并且可以帮助研究人员寻找靶向作用干细胞的分子来抑制肠癌的发生、发展和复发。

Cell Reports:肿瘤干细胞调节的新研究

桑福德伯翰医学研究所的研究人员发现了一个精确的干细胞信号转导过程,如果该信号通路中断则会导致肠道肿瘤。这些发现有助于我们对如何干细胞如何引起肿瘤以及识别特定的干细胞的分子的理解,这可以有针对性的预防肠道癌症肿瘤发生,进展以及癌症复发。今天这项研究的结果在线发表在Cell  Report。 桑福德伯翰的细胞死亡和生存网络项目主管Jorge Moscat博士说:“越来越多的证据表明,肿瘤干

美科学家希望借干细胞靶向药物消灭癌症

Robert Weinberg是当今世界最有名的癌症生物学家之一,他在区分标志癌症发展的基因方面曾做出先驱工作。他见证过来来往往各种癌症疗法带来的希望。“无论好坏,我在这个领域已经工作了40年。但我们过去做过的许多工作已经在临床上被证明是没有用的。”如今迈入古稀之年,已是72岁高龄的他重新恢复了乐观。“这是我真正意义上第一次处于研发一种或多种有效试剂的岗位上,这些疗法将真正惠及癌症患者。”

STM:未成熟的干细胞可修复肺损伤

目前,在急性肺损伤中存活下来的病人的肺部功能都可恢复,这意味着成人的肺组织可在某种程度上再生。根据不同肺损伤的成因或严重性,许多不同种类的始祖细胞都可成功帮助小鼠肺部再生,这些始祖细胞包括肺泡II型细胞以及气道末梢肝细胞。近日,Vaughan和他的团队发现未成熟的隐形内皮谱系始祖细胞(LNEP cells)可以恢复因流感病毒或博来霉素而引起的肺损伤。LNEP细胞在正常小鼠的肺末梢中是处于休眠状态的
