Abstract

Retraction: "MicroRNA-205 affects mouse granulosa cell apoptosis and estradiol synthesis by targeting CREB1," by Pengju Zhang, Jun Wang, Hongyan Lang, Weixia Wang, Xiaohui Liu, Haiyan Liu, Chengcheng Tan, Xintao Li, Yumin Zhao, Xinghong Wu, J Cell Biochem. 2018; 120: 8466-8474: The above article, published online on 16 December 2018 in Wiley Online Library (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/jcb.28133) has been retracted by agreement between the journal's Editor in Chief, Christian Behl, and Wiley Periodicals LLC. The retraction has been agreed following an investigation based on allegations raised by third parties. Several flaws and inconsistencies between results presented and experimental methods described were found. Furthermore, multiple image duplications as well as image elements that were published previously in a different scientific context were found in Figures 2, 3, and 5. Thus, the editors consider the conclusions of this article to be invalid. The authors did not respond when asked to collaborate during the investigation and confirm the retraction.
