Versions Notes
The journal retracts the article, “Fluoxetine Ecofriendly Nanoemulsion Enhances Wound Healing in Diabetic Rats: In Vivo Efficacy Assessment” [1].
Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the publisher regarding image reuse across several publications.
Adhering to our complaints procedure, an investigation was conducted that confirmed the duplication of Figure 5A in [1] with parts of Figure 1A of [2], Figure 2A of [3] and Figure 3A [4], presenting different experimental conditions.
While the authors fully cooperated with the Editorial Office during the investigation, they were unable to satisfactorily explain the overlap of figures and meet the required quality standards of raw images in order to consider a correction as per the journal’s original image requirements policy (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/pharmaceutics/instructions#oriimages). As a result, the Editorial Board and Editor-in-Chief were unable to confirm the reliability of the findings and subsequently decided to retract this paper.
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Pharmaceutics.
The authors did not agree to this retraction.
