Retracted: Tectonic 1 Is a Key Regulator of Cell Proliferation in Pancreatic Cancer

Abstract

Cancer Biotherapy and Radiopharmaceuticals

officially retracts the article entitled, “Tectonic 1 Is a Key Regulator of Cell Proliferation in Pancreatic Cancer,” by Shiyong Zhao, Xuedong Chen, Ming Wan, Xingming Jiang, Chunlong Li, Yunfu Cui, and Pengcheng Kang, (Cancer Biother Radiopharm 2016;31(1):7–13; doi: 10.1089/cbr.2014.1778) due to incorrectly attributed or identified sequences. Several figures and text within the methods section are strikingly similar to those in other publications^1–3 and suggests that same party prepared these papers for entirely different author sets.

The Editor and Publisher of Cancer Biotherapy and Radiopharmaceuticals are committed to preserving the scientific literature and the community it serves.
