Versions Notes
The journal retracts the article titled “A Ferulic Acid Derivative FXS-3 Inhibits Proliferation and Metastasis of Human Lung Cancer A549 Cells via Positive JNK Signaling Pathway and Negative ERK/p38, AKT/mTOR and MEK/ERK Signaling Pathways” [1], as cited above.
Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the Editorial Office regarding inappropriate image modification and duplication contained within this article [1].
Adhering to our standard procedure, the Editorial Office and Editorial Board conducted an investigation that confirmed unusual image anomalies and duplication of sub-images in Figure 5B [1] and duplication of sub-images in Figure 5B,C [1], presenting different experimental conditions. While the authors collaborated with the Editorial Office during the investigation, they were unable to satisfactorily explain the overlapping visual features, and the Editorial Board could not confirm the validity of the images from the raw material provided. As a result, the Editorial Board has lost confidence in the validity of the findings and decided to retract this publication [1], as per MDPI’s retraction policy (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics#_bookmark30).
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the Molecules journal.
The authors agreed to this retraction.
