At the request of the Journal Editor the following article has been retracted.
Yan X, Yu H, Liu Y, Hou J, Yang Q, Zhao Y. miR-27a-3p Functions as a Tumor Suppressor and Regulates Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Cell Proliferation via Targeting HOXB8. Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment, DOI:10.1177/1533033819861971
Significant similarities between this paper and a number of other papers have been identified, as well as indication of image and data manipulation suggestive of the use of a “paper mill”. These papers share common structures and wording yet do not share any common authors.
The authors did not provide a sufficient response or evidence to refute these claims. As a result, the scientific accuracy of this paper is not reliable.
Adhering to the international guidelines established by the Committee on Publication Ethics, the Journal has determined these are grounds for retraction.
