Retraction to: Journal of Hematology & Oncology 2013, 6:93 https://doi.org/10.1186/1756-8722-6-93
The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article because of substantial text overlap with a previously published article by some of the same authors (1) and apparent re-use of some of the data shown in the figures with different labelling. Specifically:Corresponding author Yang has confirmed that both articles are based on the same patient population and sample collection. Although the earlier study [1] is cited in the 2013 article, it was not made clear that this was a continuation of the same work by a subset of authors. Corresponding author Yang has stated that the original data are not available.
-
In Fig. 4a some Western blots appear to be very similar or to overlap with those presented in Fig. 3A in (1).
-
Figure 4c appears to contain an image that overlaps with Fig. 3B in (1). Both images are described as “ST88-14 cell line, control siRNA”; however, the two figures purport to describe separate and different experiments.
Dr. Jilong Yang does not agree to this retraction. The publisher was not able to obtain a current email address for Antti Ylipää. None of the other authors has responded to any correspondence from the Editor or publisher about this retraction.
