The journal retracts the article titled “Chemical Characterization of Taif Rose (Rosa damascena Mill var. trigentipetala) Waste Methanolic Extract and Its Hepatoprotective and Antioxidant Effects Against Cadmium Chloride (CdCl₂)-Induced Hepatotoxicity and Potential Anticancer Activities Against Liver Cancer Cells (HepG2)” [1], cited above.

Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the publisher regarding the integrity of images presented in this publication [1].

Adhering to our standard procedure, the Editorial Office and Editorial Board conducted an investigation that confirmed duplication between Figure 9b and 9c, which presented different experimental conditions. While the authors collaborated during this process, the supporting material and explanations provided did not meet the Editorial Board’s expectations to fully resolve the issues raised. 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 Crystals journal.

The authors did not agree to this retraction.
