The journal retracts the article, Dinitrosopiperazine-Mediated Phosphorylated-Proteins Are Involved in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Metastasis [1] cited above.
Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the publisher regarding the figures. Some stained tissue pictures in Figure 6 [1] are duplicates, appearing in Figure 4A of another published paper [2]. The figure duplication brings uncertainty regarding the scientific conclusions. Therefore this paper [1] is retracted and shall be marked accordingly.
We apologize to our readership that this went undetected until now.
