This video is by Sholto David (who had made somewhat of a career in exposing academic fraud in bio sciences[0]), and is accompanied by a blog post [1]

The interesting issue in this case is that imaging was made by a third-party company, and it appears that this company appears to have photo-shopped the results. I imagine it must be devastating as a researcher to put time and money and effort in to this research to be let down in this way
