The Editorial Office has been made aware of potential issues surrounding the scientific validity of this paper “Apc gene suppresses intracranial aneurysm formation and rupture through inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway mediated inflammatory response” DOI: 10.1042/BSR20181909, hence has issued an expression of concern to notify readers whilst the Editorial Office investigates. It has been noted that Figure 3 Normal panel and parts of Figure 3 NC panel seem to appear in a subsequent paper by Gao et al, 2020 (DOI: 10.1186/s11671-020-03357-2) [retracted].
Additionally, the Editorial Office has concerns that during the revision process, the labels for two panels in Figure 3 changed condition. The authors were contacted regarding the concerns, however so far the Editorial Office has not received a response.
