[Retracted] MicroRNA‑432‑5p inhibits cell migration and invasion by targeting CXCL5 in colorectal cancer

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Following the publication of the above paper, it was drawn to the Editor’s attention by a concerned reader that, regarding the Transwell migration and invasion assay experiments shown in Figs. 2D and 4D, a large number of the panels in this figure showed evidence of overlapping data [specifically, five pairs of data panels in Fig. 2D, and two pairs of data panels (with differing orientations) in Fig. 4D, were found to be overlapping]. Owing to the large number of data duplication events that have been identified in this pair of figures, the Editor of Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine has decided that it should be retracted from the Journal on account of a lack of confidence in the presented data. The authors were asked for an explanation to account for these concerns, but the Editorial Office did not receive a reply. The Editor apologizes to the readership for any inconvenience caused.
