Study finds wide variation between human cell lines used for research
(PHYSorg.com Biology)

More than 70 percent of researchers failed to reproduce another scientist`s experiment, according to a survey conducted by Nature in 2016. If scientists can`t reproduce each other`s work, important discoveries may never leave the lab and have an impact on human health. One cause for this `reproducibility crisis` may lie in the significant differences in cell lines used by different laboratories, according to Yale researcher Yansheng Liu.
