Abstract

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

Shaohui Zhang & Yongliang Zhao (2019) Lentinan protects cardiomyocytes against hypoxia-induced injury by regulation of microRNA-22/Sirt1. Artificial Cells, Nanomedicine, and Biotechnology, 47:1, 3938–3946, DOI: 10.1080/21691401.2019.1666863

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. The authors have agreed to retract the article.

We have been informed in our decision-making by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retractions.
