Open Letter to Nobel Prize Selection Committee against Awarding Yamanaka and other iPS Cell ResearchersThe discovery of iPS cells has been heralded as a milestone discovery that is equivalent to the first biological airplane. Rumors have been circulated that Yamanaka should win a Nobel Prize for this and this link is now even made into the print of Science. However, not only iPS cells are just some man-made cancer cells but also many claims for iPS cells are outright deceptions. It is thus would be a great irony this discovery will be nominated and even win a Nobel Prize.

IPS Cells versus ES CellsiPS cells are said to be indistinguishable or very similar to embryonic stem (ES) cells or even equated directly with ES cells. However, from a correct knowledge of cell biology, iPS cells cannot be ES cells and must be different from ES cells.

The Method of the Year 2009 and Its Intrinsic ProblemsWhile iPSCs are being treated as unnecessary for regenerative medicine and a thing of the past, Nature Methods claimed generating iPSCs as a Method of the Year. Is this not amazing?

Multigenic Cancer Is Distinct from Metastatic CancerA new study reported in Science misidentified a multigenesis cancer as a metastatic cancer. However, criticism on this mistake was rejected by Science.

Why Do We Need "Fully Pluripotent" iPS Cells?
A Correspondence questioning the scientific and ethic value of obtaining “fully pluripotent” iPSCs (induced pluripotent stem cells) using an embryo-sacrificing reproductive cloning has been totally ignored by Nature and is published here as an open letter.
