Thank you very much for your email-letters and your reminder today.
Because of important deadlines, I overlooked your first email request.
I did not expect to generate such an uproar especially with a small publication in
BBRC and must admit that I am quite overwhelmed with the attention that this small piece of work got.
We had selected this title because, we tried to repeat the STAP protocol immediately
after the Obokata paper came our, but with no success. With my PhD student we
wanted to understand a little bit better what may be the reason for the fact that
pH-stress also in our lab activated pluripotency markers but did never result in iPS cells.
The final outcome is the paper you mentioned and I hope that we were
very critical with putting our results in the right perspective.
If one reads our paper carefully it should be clear that we did not
obtain pluripotent cells that could be cultivated and propagated,
but rather observe some commonly used
markers using a modification of the "STAP protocol".
I hope that our results will be treated as they are and not used to
support unsubstantiated believes.
With best regards

こんな英文書いてたら小保方先生に怒られるだろう。
彼女はreadmission to other universitiesと書いて内心の思いを読み取らずに
悪意で語彙選択の間違いを指摘するアホたちと戦ってるというのに。
こんな人達が学者だなんて、噓だわと思うに違いない。
実際うちの高一の息子でももう少しマシだ。
