A Stabilizer-Free and Organic Solvent-Free Method to Prepare 10-Hydroxycamptothecin Nanocrystals: In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation [Retraction]

Yang X, Liu Y, Zhao Y, et al. Int J Nanomedicine. 2016;11:2979—2994. We, the Editor and Publisher of International Journal of Nanomedicine, have retracted the published article. In February 2025, concerns were raised by a third party regarding potential duplications in Figure(s) 1C, 5 and 6. The authors then contacted the journal to explain that figure(s) 5 and 6 were the incorrect images. They additionally confirmed that Figure 1C was an amended image included in error; the authors then requested retraction. As verifying the validity of published work is core to the integrity of the scholarly record, we are therefore retracting the article. The corresponding author listed in this publication has been informed. We have been informed in our decision-making by our editorial policies and the COPE guidelines. The retracted articles will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but they will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
