Retraction: Wang Y, Yue D. CUL4B promotes aggressive phenotypes of HNSCC via the activation of the Wnt/β‐catenin signaling pathway
TL;DR
This retraction notice states that a paper on CUL4B's role in head and neck cancer was withdrawn due to concerns about duplicated figures.
Contribution
The paper originally claimed CUL4B promotes aggressive cancer traits via Wnt/β-catenin signaling, but this finding is now retracted.
Findings
The paper's figures (2, 3, and 4) are suspected of duplication, undermining data interpretation.
The authors did not provide original data when requested, leading to the retraction.
The retraction affects the validity of the study's conclusions about CUL4B and Wnt signaling in HNSCC.
