Abstract:
The article "Study on the functions and mechanism of immune functions of human telomerase reverse transcriptase regulating dendritic cells treating sepsis", by H.-M. Chen, L.-Q. Wang, H.-P. Wan, H.-Z. Wei, L.-C. Ke, C.-Y. Liu, Q.-Y. Tan, published in Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci 2016; 20 (21): 4500-4507-PMID: 27874963 has been retracted by the Editor in Chief for the following reasons. Some concerns were raised on PubPeer (https://pubpeer.com/publications/3604386A706802443E51758A893D6F) about Figures 3, 4, and 5 showing some overlaps and similar bands in Western blots figures. Furthermore, there is a lack of information regarding the ethics approval for the study involving rats. The journal contacted the authors to request the original raw data and information regarding the ethical approval of the manuscript but never received a reply. Therefore, due to major concerns detected, the Editor in Chief mistrusts the results presented and decided to withdraw the manuscript. The corresponding author has been informed about the retraction. This article has been retracted. The Publisher apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause. https://www.europeanreview.org/article/11476.
