We, the Editors and Publisher of the Cell Cycle journal, have retracted the following article:
Silei Chen, Yajuan Luo, Liangyi Cui and Qing Yang. miR-96-5p regulated TGF-β/SMAD signaling pathway and suppressed endometrial cell viability and migration via targeting TGFBR1. Cell Cycle. 2020;19(14):1740-1753. doi: 10.1080/15384101.2020.1777804
Since publication, concerns have been raised about the integrity of the data in the article. When approached for an explanation, the authors reviewed their data and confirmed there are errors present. The authors kindly provided their data as part of the investigation, however, we reviewed the data and confirmed that the concerns remained. 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 editorial policies and the COPE guidelines.
The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
