Retraction Note: J Exp Clin Cancer Res 37, 171 (2018)
The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. Concerns were raised regarding a number of figures, including but not limited to:
-
Figure 1a appears to be identical to Figure 2B in an article by different authors describing different studies that was simultaneously under consideration at a different journal [1] but flipped horizontally.
-
Figure 2f appears to overlap with Figure 2F in a previously published article [3] and Figure 4C in an article by different authors that was simultaneously under consideration [4].
-
Figure 3e appears to be identical to Figure 2c in a previously published article [2].
-
Figure 7c appears to be identical to Figure 5B in an article by different authors describing different studies that was simultaneously under consideration at a different journal [1].
-
Figure 8a appears to be identical to Figure 6A in an article by different authors describing different studies that was simultaneously under consideration at a different journal [1].
The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer have confidence in the results and conclusions of this article.
The authors have not responded to correspondence regarding this retraction.
