RETRACTED: siVEGF-loaded nanoparticle uptake by tumor-associated vascular endothelial cells for hepatocellular carcinoma
Abstract
This article has been retracted: please see Future Science Group's Policy on retractions (www.futuremedicine.com/authorguide/editorialpolicies).
The following article has been retracted from Nanomedicine at the request of the authors and the editors:
Xu B, Zhang Y, Yang H, Liu T, Lu Y, Xu Y, Zhang Q, Li X, Huang Z, Zhang Y, Webster TJ. siVEGF-loaded nanoparticle uptake by tumor-associated vascular endothelial cells for hepatocellular carcinoma. Nanomedicine (Lond.) 15(13), 1297–1314 (2020).
It has been identified that:
Figure 4A panel siNC-loaded CBc NPs showed the same slide as Figure 4C panel siNC-loaded CBc NPs
Figure 4A panel UltraFectin/siVEGF showed the same slide as Figure 4C panel siNC-loaded CBc NPs.
Figure 4E panel PBS showed the same slide as Figure 4E panel UltraFectin/siVEGF.
Given the impact these duplicated images may have on the conclusions of the paper the authors and editors have decided to retract it from publication.
The authors and editors of Nanomedicine regret any negative consequences this publication might have caused in the scientific and medical communities.
