The Journal retracts the article “Insight into the Potential Antioxidant and Antidiabetic Activities of Scrolled Kaolinite Single Sheet (KNs) and Its Composite with ZnO Nanoparticles: Synergetic Studies” [1] cited above.
Following publication, the authors contacted the Editorial Office in order to request an amendment to the publication to address an issue with Figure 2 presented in this article [1].
In accordance with standard journal procedures, the Editorial Office and Editorial Board conducted an investigation with the full cooperation of the authors.
