We, the Editors and Publisher of the journal All Life have retracted the following article:
Expression and significance of N-MID, PAI-1, and RBM5 in patients with brain metastases of lung cancer. All Life. (DOI: 10.1080/26895293.2021.1917458)
Since publication, significant concerns have been raised about the integrity of the data and reported results in the article, alongside additional concern about ethical approval of the human research carried out. When approached for an explanation, the authors did not provide their original data or any necessary supporting information. As verifying the validity of published work is core to the integrity of the scholarly record, 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The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
