Efficient miRNA Inhibitor with GO-PEI Nanosheets for Osteosarcoma Suppression by Targeting PTEN [Retraction]
Ou L, Lin H, Song Y, et al. Int J Nanomedicine. 2020;15:5131–5146.
The Editor and Publisher of International Journal of Nanomedicine are retracting the published article. The authors requested to correct the image used for Figure 8D, p-PTEN, Inhibitor, however it was found the image had been duplicated with that from Figure 7E, p-PTEN, inhibitor from Ou L, Sun T, Liu M, et al. Efficient miRNA Inhibitor Delivery with Graphene Oxide-Polyethylenimine to Inhibit Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Int J Nanomedicine. 2020;15:1569–1583. https://doi.org/10.2147/IJN.S220057.
The authors cooperated with our queries and provided some data from their study, but they were unable to provide a satisfactory explanation for the image duplication. As the findings could not be adequately verified the Editor and Publisher made the decision to retract the article. The authors did not agree with this decision.
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The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as “Retracted”.
