recent commentary published in the Journal of Cell Biology (JCB), editors Kenneth M. Yamada and Alan Hall wrote about the problem of reproducibility in cell biology studies. Yamada and Hall cite various articles stating that results from cell biology were able to be reproduced as little as 50% (and potentially down to 25%) of the time. Besides causing a loss of public trust in biomedical research that could result in funding cuts, a lack of reproducible results severely hinders translation of basic research to the clinic.
