Abstract
The Journal Editor and Sage hereby issue an expression of concern for the following article:
Li Y, Zhao L, Zhao P, and Liu Z. Long non-coding RNA LINC00641 suppresses non-small-cell lung cancer by sponging miR-424-5p to upregulate PLSCR4. Cancer Biomarkers. 2019; 26(1). https://doi.org/110.3233/CBM-190142
The authors requested a retraction, noting that the results in the article require further validation following the publication of subsequent studies. Additionally, during the investigation, Sage noted indicators of third-party activity.
The authors did not respond to journal queries for further details and as such the journal is unable to uphold the claims made by the authors in the article.
Therefore, the Journal Editor and Sage have placed this expression of concern on the article to alert readers.
