Abstract

Mengie T, Mequanente S, Nigussie D, Legesse B, Makonnen E. J Inflamm Res. 2021;14:1775—1787. We, the Editors and Publisher of the Journal of Inflammation Research, have retracted the following article. Since publication, concerns have been raised about the integrity of the data in the article, specifically image duplication in Figure 2. When approached for an explanation, the authors have been unable to provide their original data or the relevant supporting documentation. As verifying the validity of published work is core to the integrity of the scholarly record, we are therefore retracting the article. The corresponding author listed in this publication has been informed. 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 The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
