The article entitled, Promoting the Recovery of Injured Liver with Poly (3-Hydroxybutyrate-Co-3-Hydroxyvalerate-Co-3-Hydroxyhexanoate) Scaffolds Loaded with Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells by Li P, Zhang J, Liu J, Ma H, Liu J, Lie P, Wang Y, Liu G, Zeng H, Li Z, and Wei X (Tissue Eng. 2015;21(3-4):603-615. DOI: 10.1089/ten.tea.2013.0331) is being retracted due to the potential evidence of image manipulation. This retraction is in connection with another article1 that was retracted due to evidence of scientific misconduct.2
