Qi Wang, Meina Ma, Hong Yu, Hongmei Yu, Shuai Zhang & Rui Li (2022) Mirtazapine prevents cell activation, inflammation, and oxidative stress against isoflurane exposure in microglia, Bioengineered, 13:1, 521-530, DOI: 10.1080/21655979.2021.2009971
Since publication, significant concerns have been raised about the integrity of the data and reported results in the article. When approached for an explanation, the authors did not provide their original data or any necessary supporting information. As verifying the validity of published work is core to the integrity of the scholarly record, we are therefore retracting the article. All authors listed in this publication have been informed.
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The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
