The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. Concerns were raised regarding a number of figures, specifically:
-
Figure 2d: the TRIM11 NCI-H446 band appears to be identical to the PCNA band of Fig. 5C in an article by different authors that was simultaneously under consideration with another journal [
1].
-
Figure 5a: the p-AKT band appears to be identical to the the STK39 NCI-H358 band of Fig. 3C in an article by different authors that was simultaneously under consideration with another journal [
2].
The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the results and conclusions reported in this article.
