Just weeks after Korean authorities confirmed that stem cell research from the laboratory of Woo Suk Hwang had been fabricated, the medical community is reeling from another scientific scandal. The editors of the New England Journal of Medicine announced this evening that they have doubts about the research of Norwegian cancer expert Dr. Jon Sudbo of the Radium Hospital in Oslo.
