IPS Cell Pioneer Cleared Of Misconduct In Research Methods

KYOTO, JAPAN - APRIL 28: Shinya Yamanaka, director of Kyoto University's Center for iPS Cell Research and Application, talks to reporters at a news conference on April 28, 2014 in Kyoto, Japan. An investigation into a dissertation written by the Nobel laureate 14 years ago was undertaken after questions were raised about the authenticity of images used in it. The panel cleared him even though it could not find the original data. The papers in question are not directly related to Yamanaka's work that won him a Nobel Prize in 2012.
