Thank you!!!

This is the best compilation about the decades of unbridled cell line contamination in papers before all the other research sins you pointed out are committed. I recall reading that the NIH 300 were hopelessly contaminated. I remember China blaming ALL of their fraud on the U.S. (Chinese scientists are under the gun to produce glory for the CCP. China has many journals, so it all gets published as a result). I remember a fellow with a prolific cell line business, and when the NIH 300 contamination was announced, he was contacted by customers wondering what they had paid for. Alas, he lost his entire business. He was careful, too!

I have copied and saved this with attribution to you and the url at the top and am sharing it. This is very helpful and very needed in this time of bald deceit and crimes.

Well done, Manu!
