The Editor and Publisher of OncoTargets and Therapy wish to retract the published article. Concerns were raised following the authors request to replace the image in Figure 1G, after noticing it had been duplicated with the same image in Figure 1F. The authors were asked to provide additional original data that would further verify the reported findings, but they were unable to do this in a satisfactory manner. The Editor requested to retract the article and the authors do not agree with this decision.
We have been informed in our decision-making by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retractions.
The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as “Retracted”.
