RETRACTED ARTICLE: Neferine hinders choriocarcinoma cell proliferation, migration and invasion through repression of long noncoding RNA-CHRF

Abstract

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

Gang Wang, Ping Wang, Xiaojun Yan & Jing Liu (2019) Neferine hinders choriocarcinoma cell proliferation, migration and invasion through repression of long noncoding RNA-CHRF, Artificial Cells, Nanomedicine, and Biotechnology, 47:1, 4089–4096, DOI: 10.1080/21691401.2019.1671429

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.
