User talk:HepaCAM Authority

Let us respect the originality and integrity of all findings and timelines related to work on hepaCAM.

It is equally important to indicate the name and qualifications of the scientist who first discovered hepaCAM, allowing hepaCAM readers to identify who takes responsibility for the initial research findings.

1) The gene HEPACAM, encoding a protein hepaCAM, was first identified in 2003 based on the sequence of HEPN1 and published in June 2005 after being characterised by Dr Shen's team

2) Almost 3 years later, GlialCAM was identified and reported by Dr Boschert's team (in April 2008).

3) Published on Nov.8, 2007, Dr Boschert et al, successfully patented a capsule, "a method for in vivo assessing an activity of the protein secreted by the gene of interest"(Pub.No.:US207/0258901A1). Interestingly, the gene of their interest wrapped in the capsule at that time was hepaCAM not glialCAM.
