We, the Editors and Publisher of the journal Artificial Cells, Nanomedicine, and Biotechnology, have retracted the following article:
Linlin Wang, Xiaonan Zhao & Ye Wang (2019) The pivotal role and mechanism of long non-coding RNA B3GALT5-AS1 in the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. Artificial Cells, Nanomedicine, and Biotechnology, 47:1, 2307–2315, DOI: 10.1080/21691401.2019.1623231
Since publication, the authors repeated some of their experiments and found that under the same conditions they could not repeat the results reported in this paper. As this error directly impacts the reported results and conclusions the authors alerted the issue to the Editor and Publisher and all 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The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
