After publication of DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.1500781 (pNaKtide inhibits Na/K-ATPase reactive oxygen species amplification and attenuates adipogenesis), concerns were raised by readers about several of the figures in the paper. In response in 2020, two of the figures (5C and S3) were acknowledged by the authors to be incorrect and corrections were presented by the authors to Science Advances. In 2022, in response to continued criticism of figures in the paper, the authors acknowledged errors in Figure 4. The editors have further unresolved concerns about other figures. The editors have lost confidence in the integrity of the data presentation in this paper. As a consequence, the editors of Science Advances have decided to retract this paper. Drs. Shapiro and Abraham and Sodhi have not agreed with the retraction. The other authors were non-responsive.
