Abstract

RETRACTION: E. Guler, H. B. Yekeler, B. Uner, M. Dogan, A. Asghar, F. Ikram, Y. Yazir, O. Gunduz, D. M. Kalaskar and M. E. Cam, “In Vitro Neuroprotective Effect Evaluation of Donepezil-Loaded PLGA Nanoparticles-Embedded PVA/PEG Nanofibers on SH-SY5Y Cells and AP-APP Plasmid Related Alzheimer Cell Line Model,” Macromolecular Materials and Engineering 310, no. 3 (2025): 2400160, https://doi.org/10.1002/mame.202400160.

The above article, published online on 24 October 2024 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor-in-Chief, David Huesmann; and Wiley-VCH GmbH. The retraction has been agreed upon due to an overlap observed between the image presented in Figure 2a of this article and an image published elsewhere earlier by some of the same authors. Furthermore, inconsistencies in the data presented in Figure 9 were found. The authors could not provide all the raw data required to support the claims of the article. Due to the nature of the concerns and the lack of supporting data, the editors have lost confidence in the results and conclusions of this article. E. Guler, H. B. Yekeler, M. Dogan, A. Asghar, F. Ikram, Y. Yazir, O. Gunduz, D. M. Kalaskar and M. E. Cam agree with the retraction. B Uner did not respond when asked to agree to the final wording of the retraction.
