RETRACTED ARTICLE: Quercetin supports cell viability and inhibits apoptosis in cardiocytes by down-regulating miR-199a

Abstract

We, the Editors, Authors and Publisher of the journal Artificial Cells, Nanomedicine, and Biotechnology, have retracted the following article:

Gongliang Guo, Licheng Gong, Liqun Sun & Haiming Xu (2019) Quercetin supports cell viability and inhibits apoptosis in cardiocytes by down-regulating miR-199a. Artificial Cells, Nanomedicine, and Biotechnology, 47:1, 2909–2916, DOI: 10.1080/21691401.2019.1640711

Since publication, the authors continued their study and found that the original experimental results were unverifiable. The authors checked their data and confirmed there are fundamental errors present. Therefore, they have agreed to the retraction of this article. The authors apologise for this oversight.

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The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
