Versions Notes
The journal retracts the article titled “Molecular Investigation of DKK3 in Cerebral Ischemic/Reperfusion Injury” [1], cited above.
Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the Editorial Office regarding the integrity of a figure presented in this publication [1].
In accordance with the journal’s standard procedures, the Editorial Office and Editorial Board conducted an investigation that identified indications of inappropriate editing in Figure 5.

As a consequence, the Editorial Board has lost confidence in the reliability of the reported findings and has decided to retract this publication in accordance with MDPI’s retraction policy.
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the Biomedicines journal.
The authors have been informed of this retraction but did not provide a comment on this decision.
