What happens when a physician-scientist and a philosophy nerd get together? Flesh Made New, a book that exposes all the confusions and delusions, tricks, lies, and dirty little secrets of stem cell science. harpercollins.com.au/9780733340147/… #stemcells 1/8

Check out our paper in Cell Stem Cell. We show 60% of unproven ‘stem cell’ businesses stopped advertising online in response to targeted regulatory action taken in Australia and Canada. @the_ASSCR @ISSCR @ISCTglobal @AusStemCell @reNEW_Global lnkd.in/gkk9d59v

Out Now! Our paper in @CellStemCell showing that Australian and Canadian regulators have reined in businesses selling unproven #StemCell treatments. If they can do it, so can other regulators worldwide! authors.elsevier.com/c/1jt7G6tu0Cpv…

Finally, #Macchiarini the Musical!! Sweden’s most famous #StemCell fraudster has inspired an opera, Mythomania, now playing in Gothenburg, universitetslararen.se/2023/10/19/pre…. Hope it’s a smash hit and tours!

Medical research #ethics must always be underpin health discoveries. When patients are betrayed, the consequences can be deadly. Such is the story highlighted today on Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) Radio National. #res…lnkd.in/g54R2rBV lnkd.in/gacYRSpX

Covering scientific misconduct in Australia - when there is a culture of ignoring it, or pretending its not a problem - is hard. That's why the launch of Retractions Australia is so encouraging. Hopefully it brings attention to the issue, at all levels.

Stem cell human embryo models spark interest & drama ipscell.com/2023/06/weekly… Macchiarini sentenced to jail again. #stemcells

It has been a good week for reflecting on famous cases of #StemCell #Fraud. Check out the NYT story by @Cyranoski How a Scientific Fraud Reinvented Himself nytimes.com/2023/06/21/opi…

We call on @TheLancet to retract the fraudulent 2008 windpipe paper published by Macchiarini and colleagues - overwhelming evidence and a criminal conviction ➡️➡️➡️ bmj.com/content/381/bm… bmj.com/content/381/bm… Vote by retweeting to right this wrong!

Why were Macchiarini’s misdeeds only punished in Sweden? He performed deadly operations right around the world

Correction: #Macchiarini isn't heading to the big house just yet. He can appeal again, this time to Sweden’s high court, science.org/content/articl…

Today we have a #BMJ article on the deadly legacy of #StemCell charlatan Paolo #Macchiarini. He can read it on the way to prison for 2 years 6 months. @CaulfieldTim @pknoepfler @PMurray_65 bmj.com/content/381/bm…

It's been a long loooong time coming. Stem cell celebrity charlatan, Paolo Macchiarini, is finally going to prison science.org/content/articl…
