Marino, “ Laccase Treatment Impairs Bisphenol A-Induced Cancer Cell Proliferation Affecting Estrogen Receptor α-Dependent Rapid Signals,” IUBMB Life 60, no. 12 (2008): 843–852, https://doi.org/10.1002/iub.130.

This Expression of Concern is for the above article, published online on 02 September 2008 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), and has been published by agreement between the journal Editor-in-Chief, Efstathios S. Gonos; the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology; and Wiley Periodicals LLC. The Expression of Concern has been published due to concerns raised by a third party regarding duplicated sections of images in Figure 3A (P-ERK-ox-BPA, tubulin-BPA, tubulin-ox-BPA) and 3B (P-ERK-ox-BPA + ICI). Due to the elapsed time, the authors were not able to provide the original raw data, therefore the journal team could not verify the authenticity of these Figures and could not exclude that these concerns affect the overall conclusions of the article. Therefore, the journal has decided to issue an Expression of Concern to inform and alert the readers.
