Retraction Note to: Inhibition of TGF-β repairs spinal cord injury by attenuating EphrinB2 expressing through inducing miR-484 from fibroblast

Retraction to: Cell Death Discovery 10.1038/s41420-021-00705-8, published online 28 Oct 2021

The Editors-in-Chief have retracted this article at the authors’ request. After publication, the authors became aware of significant issues with the data presented here. Specifically:

• The authors have found that the described effect of 1D11 TGF-b neutralizing antibody on fibrotic scar formation after spinal cord injury appears to be time-dependent and further experiments do not support the results and conclusions presented in this paper.

• The authors have used the staining of EphrinB2, a ligand, to measure the expression of Eph Receptor B2 (EphB2, a receptor). This is incorrect and readers should disregard the data and conclusions based on this part of the study.

• As per article title, the project investigated miR-484, but it was referred to as miR-488 throughout the text by mistake.

The authors have lost confidence in the results and conclusions presented in this article.
