Abstract
We, the Editors and Publisher of the journal Artificial Cells, Nanomedicine, and Biotechnology, have retracted the following article:
Chao Huang, Lili Wang, Hongguang Song & Cungang Wu (2019) MiR-29a inhibits the progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma by targeting Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway. Artificial Cells, Nanomedicine, and Biotechnology, 47:1, 3037–3042, DOI: 10.1080/21691401.2019.1576712
It has come to our attention that two authors with new affiliations were added to the manuscript after the article was accepted. We have contacted the corresponding author for an explanation, but we have not received a response. In addition, we asked the authors to provide the original files to verify the integrity of their data, but again we have not received a response. As we have been unable to verify the data presented in this article, and because determining authorship is core to the integrity of published work, we are therefore retracting the article. The corresponding author listed in this publication has been informed.
We have been informed in our decision-making by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retractions.
The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
