Versions Notes
The journal retracts the article, “Actively Targeted Nanodelivery of Echinomycin Induces Autophagy-Mediated Death in Chemoresistant Pancreatic Cancer In Vivo” [1], cited above.
Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the Editorial Office regarding multiple irregularities found in images presented in this article [1].
Adhering to our standard procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and Editorial Board, which confirmed indications of inappropriate image editing contained within Figures 3A and 6C. While the authors fully collaborated with this process, they were unable to provide supporting material for the Editorial Board evaluation. As a result, 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).
