This journal retracts the article “Fe₃O₄ Nanoparticles for Complex Targeted Delivery and Boron Neutron Capture Therapy” [1], which is cited above.

Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the Editorial Office regarding an overlap of images between this article and a previously published article [2] from similar authorship groups.

Adhering to our standard procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and Editorial Board that identified indications of inappropriate editing and duplication between figures presented in this article [1] and an earlier publication [2]. While the authors cooperated during the investigation by providing raw materials and clarifying the availability of the underlying data, the Editorial Board was unable to verify the integrity of the study’s central findings based on the materials provided. As a result, the Editorial Board has lost confidence in the validity of the findings and has decided to retract the paper as per MDPI’s retraction policy (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics#_bookmark30).

This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Nanomaterials.

The authors did not agree to this retraction.
