Abstract
Retraction: "Role of RKIP in human hepatic stellate cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis", by Quanfang Huang, Jinbin Wei, Ling Wei, Xiaolin Zhang, Facheng Bai, Shujuan Wen, Yuanyuan Wei, Shimei Tan, Zhongpeng Lu, and Xing Lin, J Cell Biochem. 2019; 6168-6177: The above article, published online on 10 October 2018 in Wiley Online Library (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jcb.27904) has been retracted by agreement between the authors, the journal's Editor in Chief, Prof. Dr. Christian Behl, and Wiley Periodicals LLC. The retraction has been agreed following an investigation based on allegations raised by a third party. The investigation was conducted by several experts into the accuracy of the data acquisition and concluded that inappropriate manipulation had taken place during Western blotting. Specifically, inconsistencies and duplicated image elements were found in figures 1A, 1B, 1D, 2C, 5D, and 6A. The authors disagree with this decision.
