Retraction: Atorvastatin inhibits pancreatic cancer cells proliferation and invasion likely by suppressing neurotrophin receptor signaling
Retraction to: Transl Cancer Res 2020;9:1439-47.
The article (1) “Atorvastatin inhibits pancreatic cancer cells proliferation and invasion likely by suppressing neurotrophin receptor signaling” (doi: 10.21037/tcr.2020.01.27) published in the Vol 9, No 3 (March 31, 2020) issue of Translational Cancer Research has been retracted at the request of all the authors. During a comprehensive review of the experimental data and accompanying figures, an unintentional error was identified in the duplication of certain panels within Figure 7A, attributed to a lapse during the assembly of the visual materials. This mistake does not affect the interpretation or conclusion of this article, as the relevant experiments were repeated, and replaceable figures from these repeated experiments can be found. Nonetheless, the authors have decided to retract this article considering the rigor and accuracy required in scientific research.
