Retraction Note: Loss of vinculin and membrane-bound β-catenin promotes metastasis and predicts poor prognosis in colorectal cancer

Abstract

Retraction note: Mol Cancer13, 263 (2014)

https://doi.org/10.1186/1476-4598-13-263

The Editor-in-Chief and the Publisher have retracted this article. Ten instances of apparent image duplication, some with rotation and contrast changes, were found within and across Figs. 2 and 3, and 6. An investigation by the publisher confirmed several image integrity issues, including but not limited to the reuse of control and figures appearing to overlap after apparent rotation or resizing. Therefore, the Editor-in-Chief no longer has confidence in the results and conclusions of this article.

Authors Sijun Hu and Yuanyuan Lu could not be contacted by the Publisher. The remaining Authors have not responded to correspondence regarding this retraction.
