According to Retraction Watch (where it says: “It’s not clear whether these alleged manipulations are central to the claims of the paper. We’ll keep an eye on this and update as we learn more from Cell.”) , the human embryonic stem cell cloning paper in Cell by the Mitalipov Lab (I blogged about it here last week) cropped and reused some images, a potentially major issue.

discussion by the peers of the
paper where you can also see the images (figures) that the peers refer to.
This post looks on image-use in scientific papers including a museum’s perspective.
