Abstract
Retraction of ‘Structural characterization of Mesobuthus martensii Karsch peptides and anti-inflammatory potency evaluation in human vascular endothelial cells’ by Man Zheng et al., RSC Adv., 2019, 9, 19365–19374, https://doi.org/10.1039/C9RA01609K.
The Royal Society of Chemistry hereby wholly retracts this RSC Advances article due to a significant amount of unattributed text overlap with articles by different author groups, including articles published in Acta Pharmacologica Sinica by Yu-ping Zhu et al.1 and RSC Advances by Zhuo Liu et al.2
Jie Liu opposes the retraction. The other authors have been informed but have not responded to any correspondence regarding the retraction.
