Abstract
B. González-Fernández, D.I. Sánchez, I. Crespo, B. San-Miguel, M. Álvarez, M.J. Tuñón, and J. González-Gallego, “ Inhibition of the SphK1/S1P Signaling Pathway by Melatonin in Mice with Liver Fibrosis and Human Hepatic Stellate Cells,” BioFactors43, no. 2 (2016): 272–282, https://doi.org/10.1002/biof.1342.
The above article, published online on 1 November 2016 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor-in-Chief, Irene Diaz-Moreno; International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB); and Wiley Periodicals LLC. Following publication, concerns were raised by a third party that portions of Figures 1A, 2A, and 3A were duplicated. Internal investigation confirmed the duplications in these figures, as well as in Figure 4A. The authors provided some of the original data, but these were not sufficient to resolve the concerns, and the authors were unable to provide a satisfactory explanation. The authors disagree with the retraction decision.
期刊介绍:
BioFactors, a journal of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, is devoted to the rapid publication of highly significant original research articles and reviews in experimental biology in health and disease.
The word “biofactors” refers to the many compounds that regulate biological functions. Biological factors comprise many molecules produced or modified by living organisms, and present in many essential systems like the blood, the nervous or immunological systems. A non-exhaustive list of biological factors includes neurotransmitters, cytokines, chemokines, hormones, coagulation factors, transcription factors, signaling molecules, receptor ligands and many more. In the group of biofactors we can accommodate several classical molecules not synthetized in the body such as vitamins, micronutrients or essential trace elements.
In keeping with this unified view of biochemistry, BioFactors publishes research dealing with the identification of new substances and the elucidation of their functions at the biophysical, biochemical, cellular and human level as well as studies revealing novel functions of already known biofactors. The journal encourages the submission of studies that use biochemistry, biophysics, cell and molecular biology and/or cell signaling approaches.
