Abstract
At the request of the Executive Editor and SAGE Publishing, the following article has been retracted.
Jiang Z-M, Li H-B, Chen S-G. PIMREG, a Marker of Proliferation, Facilitates Aggressive Development of Cholangiocarcinoma Cells Partly Through Regulating Cell Cycle-Related Markers. Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment. 2020;19. doi:10.1177/1533033820979681
The Executive Editor became aware of a PubPeer post discussing this article. The concern is mentioned below:
In Figure 4A1 si-PIMREG#1, appears highly similar to Figure 2E si-CRNDE of a previously published article.2
The authors did not respond to journal requests for raw, underlying images to resolve the concerns.
Due to unresolved questions around the integrity of this image as well as the research reported in this article, the Executive Editor retracts the article.
