Abstract:
Subsequently to the publication of the above paper, an interested reader has drawn to our attention that five pairs of data panels in Fig. 3A and B, showing the results of Transwell invasion and migration assay experiments, were overlapping, such that data which were intended to show the results from a number of differently performed experiments had apparently been derived from the same original sources. Following an independent assessment of these data in the Editorial Office, the Editor of Oncology Reports has decided that this article should be retracted from the publication on account of a lack of confidence in the integrity of the presented data. The authors were asked for an explanation to account for these concerns, but the Editorial Office did not receive a reply. The Editor apologizes to the readership for any inconvenience caused by the retraction of this article.[Oncology Reports 38: 1005‑1012, 2017; DOI: 10.3892/or.2017.5759].

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...

Role of Myosin in Cell Migration
Myosin II is a hexamer comprising two heavy chains with globular heads and coiled-coil tails, two regulatory light chains, and two essential light chains. The ATPase sites on the myosin heads hydrolyze ATP, and the released phosphate generates the force for contraction....
