We, the Editors and Publisher of OncoTargets and Therapy, have retracted the following article.
Since publication, concerns have been raised about the integrity of the data in the article. This includes the duplication of images in Figures 2 and 3. Specifically,
- The western blot images for Figure 2A and 2C, β-actin, have been duplicated.
- The images for Figure 3C, Invasion and Migration, Mimic, have been duplicated.
When approached for an explanation, the authors did not respond to our queries, nor did they provide original data for their study. As the findings could not be verified the Editor and Publisher made the decision to retract the article and the authors were notified of this.
We have been informed in our decision-making by our editorial policies and COPE guidelines.
The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as “Retracted”.
