Retraction: Carbon monoxide inhibits Fas activating antibody-induced apoptosis in endothelial cells

After the publication of the article entitled “Carbon monoxide inhibits Fas activating antibody-induced apoptosis in endothelial cells”,[1] post-publication review on PubPeer (https://pubpeer.com/publications/5D177133C7098B90006 FDC2375F160) alerted the editors to partial duplication of Figures 1B, 2B, 3B, and 4.

Medical Gas Research investigated these findings. The original uncropped image files are no longer available from the authors. The data and information provided by the authors have not fully resolved the concerns. The article has been retracted by agreement between the corresponding author, Stefan W Ryter, and the editorial board. This retraction is consistent with the publishing policy of Medical Gas Research.
