Abstract
We, the Editors and Publisher of the journal Artificial Cells, Nanomedicine, and Biotechnology, have retracted the following article:
Le Zhang, Jun Wang, Zhijie Fu, YanQiu Ai, Yanrong Li, Ying Wang & Yanping Wang (2019) Sevoflurane suppresses migration and invasion of glioma cells by regulating miR-146b-5p and MMP16. Artificial Cells, Nanomedicine, and Biotechnology, 47:1, 3306–3314, DOI: 10.1080/21691401.2019.1648282
Since publication, concerns have been raised about the integrity of the data in the article. When approached for an explanation, the authors have been unable to verify their original data. In addition, the authors have confirmed that the images used in Figure 1B contain duplication due to an error. As this error directly impacts the reported results and conclusions the Editor and Publisher have agreed to retract the article to ensure correction of the scholarly record.
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The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as “Retracted.”
