RETRACTED: Up-regulating ribonuclease inhibitor inhibited epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and metastasis in murine melanoma cells.

Abstract

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/our-business/policies/article-withdrawal). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief. The journal was notified about discrepancies in Figures 6C, 3C, 3E and 6A where a number of images had been inappropriately duplicated https://pubpeer.com/publications/16B7F676D60092A7A05400BE4DFE8E#3. Upon further investigation and discussion with the authors, insufficient evidence was provided to support a reasonable explanation for these discrepancies. As the concerns around these datasets are likely to affect the overall conclusions of the paper, the Editor-in-Chief has decided to retract the paper.
