EXPRESSION OF CONCERN: Simultaneous Modulation of COX‐2, p300, Akt, and Apaf‐1 Signaling by Melatonin to Inhibit Proliferation and Induce Apoptosis in Breast Cancer Cells

A third party raised concerns that a FACS plot had been duplicated between Figures 1B and6C, while both are intended to represent different treatments and quantification.An investigation by the publisher confirmed this duplication and also found evidence of image duplication between Figures 3D and4A involving western blot data, as well as a panel mismatch in Figure 6D involving fluorescence data.

Abstract

A third party raised concerns that a FACS plot had been duplicated between Figures 1B and6C, while both are intended to represent different treatments and quantification.An investigation by the publisher confirmed this duplication and also found evidence of image duplication between Figures 3D and4A involving western blot data, as well as a panel mismatch in Figure 6D involving fluorescence data.
