Yue Gao, Ziwei Zhang, Yan Wang, Dayong Zhou, Jinghua Zhou, Jinghua Zhang, Xiaoyu Chen, Xin Li, and Qingliang Shao- 2022, Impacts of Lipopolysaccharide on Fetal Lung Developmental Maturity and Surfactant Protein B and Surfactant Protein C Protein Expression in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Rats, Bioengineered 13(1), doi: 10.1080/21655979.2021.2013099

Since publication, significant concerns have been raised about the integrity of the data and reported results in the article. When approached for an explanation, the authors did not provide their original data or any necessary supporting information.
