We, the Editors and Publisher of the journal Cell Cycle, have retracted the following article:
Ping Wang, Xiqing Zhao, Xiaotang Wu, Guoshuai Tang, and Linna Yuan. miR-15b-3p promotes the malignant progression of endometrial cancer cells through targeting KLF2. Cell Cycle. 2021;20(14):1431-1440. doi: 10.1080/15384101.2021.1941611
Since publication, concerns have been raised about the integrity of the data in the article. When approached for an explanation, the authors have been unable to address all the concerns raised. As verifying the validity of published work is core to the integrity of the scholarly record, we are therefore retracting the article. The authors do not agree with the retraction.
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The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
