Versions Notes
The Journal retracts the article “Synergistic Effect of Bioactive Anticarcinogens from Soybean on Anti-Proliferative Activity in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 Human Breast Cancer Cells In Vitro” [1] cited above.
Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the Editorial Office regarding the integrity of Figure 6 presented in this article [1].
Adhering to our standard procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and Editorial Board that identified indications of inappropriate editing and duplication within Figure 6 presented in this article [1]. While the authors cooperated during this process, complete raw material that met the journals requirements (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/molecules/instructions#oriimages) could not be provided for Editorial Board Evaluation. Consequently, the Editorial Board has lost confidence in the reliability 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 journal Molecules.
The authors agreed to this retraction.
