Retraction
Genes & Development 25: 646–659 (2011)
“Our study investigated the mechanisms by which miR-31 regulates different aspects of breast cancer metastasis. We have retracted our earlier publication involving miR-31 (Valastyan et al. 2009) because original data were compiled from different replicate experiments in order to assemble certain figure panels. As the same analytical methodology was used in this manuscript, we believe that the responsible course of action is to retract the article. We apologize for any inconvenience we have caused.”
The cosigners of this retraction are the same set of coauthors as that of the Genes & Development article.
