# 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This retraction notice states that a paper on CUL4B's role in head and neck cancer was withdrawn due to concerns about duplicated figures.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.

## Key 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.
