Abstract

Retraction: M. Moradzadeh, A. Roustazadeh, A. Tabarraei, S. Erfanian, and A. Sahebkar, "Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate Enhances Differentiation of Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia Cells via Inhibition of PML-RARα and HDAC1," Phytotherapy Research 32, no. 3 (2018): 471-479, https://doi.org/10.1002/ptr.5990. The above article, published online on 29 November 2017 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor-in-Chief, Angelo A. Izzo; and John Wiley and Sons Ltd. The retraction has been agreed upon following an investigation into concerns raised by a third party, which revealed inappropriate image panel duplications between this article (Figure 4 a, b) and other articles published by an overlapping group of authors, in which the images represent different experimental conditions. The explanation provided by the authors could not address these concerns. Thus, the editors have lost confidence in the presented data and consider the conclusions of this manuscript substantially compromised. A. Sahebkar disagrees with the retraction, the other co-authors remained unresponsive.
