We, the Editors and Publisher of the Journal, OncoTargets and Therapy, have retracted the published article.
After publication, concerns have been raised by a third party about the integrity of the data in Figure 6 of the article.
Further investigation conducted by the Journal and Publisher confirmed confirmed overlapping image areas representative of different treatment conditions present in Figure 6C.
When approached for an explanation, the authors have provided their raw data and the relevant documentation. Upon further review, the Journal and Publisher identified additional image integrity concerns present in the original raw data provided for Figure 6C.
As verifying the validity of published work is core to the integrity of the scholarly record, we are therefore retracting the article. The corresponding author listed in this publication has been informed.
We have been informed in our decision-making by our editorial policies and the COPE guidelines.
The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
