The following article has been retracted from Nanomedicine at the request of the authors and the editors:
Liu W, Su P, Chen S, Wang N, Wang J, Liu Y, Ma Y, Li H, Zhang Z, Webster TJ. Antibacterial and osteogenic stem cell differentiation properties of photoinduced TiO2 nanoparticle-decorated TiO2 nanotubes. Nanomedicine (Lond.) 10(5), 713–723 (2015).
The authors previously highlighted an issue relating to Figure 6 (Fluorescence images showing the viability of the Streptococcus mutans on samples) in this paper and a corrigendum was published to remove it. It was determined that the conclusions of the study were still valid without this figure.
However, it has since been identified that parts of the figure in question contained manipulated images. The authors have reconsidered the completeness of the paper and have decided to retract it.
The authors and editors of Nanomedicine regret any negative consequences this publication might have caused in the scientific and medical communities.
