We, the Editor and Publisher of the journal OncoTargets and Therapy have retracted the published article.
Following publication of the article, the authors raised concerns about the duplication of images from Figures 5 and 6. Specifically,
- The images for Figure 5B, Veh and Nec-1, 0h, have been duplicated.
- The images for Figure 6A and 6B, MCF-7, Nec-1, have been duplicated.
The authors were cooperative and were able to provide some original data for the study but were unable to provide a satisfactory explanation for how the images came to be duplicated. As verifying the validity of published work is core to the integrity of the scholarly record, the Publisher and Editor requested to retract the article and the authors do not agree with this decision.
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The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as “Retracted”.
