At the author’s request, the Editor and Publisher of International Journal of Nanomedicine wish to retract the published article. Authors concerns were raised regarding the alleged duplication of images in Figure 4. Specifically,

  • Figure 4, CD4+, ESC appears to have been duplicated with the same image from Figure 4, CD4+, MWCNTs, which has been rotated.
  • Figure 4, CD8+, ESC appears to have been duplicated with the same image from Figure 4, CD8+, MWCNTs, which has been rotated.

The authors explained the duplication was an error which occurred during the collection and saving of the images. The authors provided some of the original images relating to Figure 4. The authors requested to retract the article and the Editor agreed with this decision.

Our decision-making was informed by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retraction.

The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as “Retracted”.
