The Editor-In-Chief of Theranostics, in consultation and agreement with the Research Integrity Officer of Rice University, retracts the article “Tunable Plasmonic Nanoprobes for Theranostics of Prostate Cancer” 1 on the basis of questions related to data falsification of several figures of the article. The questions about the falsified data also raise questions about the conclusions within the paper.
