I would like to have time to confirm the validity of the technology. |
Mistakes [were] made, human errors, in taking photographs and in the preservation of the stem cells. |
Our research team made patient-specific embryonic stem cells and we have the technology to produce them. |
Technology for patient-specific embryonic stem cells belongs to South Korea. And you will find out that this is true. |
The replacement took place under a detailed plan over quite a long period of time. |
The researcher should have told me that he was not able to culture stem cells. I really don't know why he put Korea to shame and sent shockwaves worldwide. |
The use of fake data ... is what I have to take full responsibility for as first author. I acknowledge all of that and apologize once again. |
There is no doubt that we produced 11 patient-specific stem cells and possess the core technology to create them again. |
We were crazy, crazy about our work. But I was blinded. All I could see was whether I could make Korea stand in the center of the world through this research. |
When the use of these stem cells is limited to a particular country, it takes much too long to create technologies usable for the whole humanity. By creating a global network, we plan to share stem cells created in each country and share information on those stem cells. |
