Abstract
A son's challenge started an emeritus professor of biology on a three-year odyssey to get biological researchers to correct a decades-long problem with cross-contaminated and misidentified cell lines. These errors may account for more than 15% of mammalian cultures, wasting resources and undermining the integrity of research.
