RETRACTION: M. Moradzadeh, A. Tabarraei, H. R. Sadeghnia, A. Ghorbani, A. Mohamadkhani, S. Erfanian, and A. Sahebkar, “Kaempferol Increases Apoptosis in Human Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia Cells and Inhibits Multidrug Resistance Genes,” Journal of Cellular Biochemistry 119, no. 2 (2018): 2288–2297, https://doi.org/10.1002/jcb.26391.

The above article, published online on October 20, 2017 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor-in-Chief, Christian Behl; and Wiley Periodicals LLC. 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 5A,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.
