There are potential issues in J. Cell Sci. (2011) 124, 1396-1402 (doi:10.1242/jcs.078220).
A possible duplication of the tubulin bands in Figs 1C and 1D was highlighted to us via the PubPeer website. In addition, there are unexplained similarities in the Chop24hr blots in 1D, the two tubulin blots in Fig 2B and the Erα and AKT blots in Fig 2J.
Owing to the period of time that has passed since the experiments were conducted, and despite searching for the original films, the original data for this study could not be found.
Without the original data, it is difficult to determine how the issues arose, so the journal is publishing this note to make readers aware of the potential duplications.
