Abstract

Martín-Renedo J, Mauriz JL, Jorquera F, Ruiz-Andrés O, González P, González-Gallego J. Melatonin induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in hepatocarcinoma HepG2 cell line. J Pineal Res 2008;45:532-540. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1600-079X.2008.00641.x The above article, published online on 9 October 2008 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor-in-Chief, Gianluca Tosini, and John Wiley and Sons Ltd. Following publication, concerns were raised by third parties regarding Figure 5B. The authors could not provide the original data for this figure, and were unable to provide a satisfactory explanation to resolve the concerns. The retraction has been agreed because of concerns that portions of the figure were duplicated, affecting the interpretation of the data and results presented. The authors disagree with this decision.
