Concerns were raised about the similarities between the Western Blots ‘S6’ from Figure 5D and ‘TfR1’ from Figure 6A, and Western Blots from Figure 2I of the article previously published by different authors in the Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine 20 (2016) 1467–1480https://doi.org/10.1111/jcmm.12835.

The journal requested the authors to provide an explanation regarding these similarities. The authors did not provide an explanation in response to these concerns. The Editor-in-Chief assessed this case and decided to retract the article.
