RETRACTION: Hsp90‐binding immunophilin FKBP51 forms complexes with hTERT enhancing telomerase activity
TL;DR
A 2016 paper claiming that FKBP51 enhances telomerase activity was retracted due to image manipulation and unreliable data.
Contribution
The paper was retracted, indicating the findings are not trustworthy.
Findings
The paper was retracted due to image manipulation in several figures.
The raw data were not sufficient to support the conclusions.
Author Mario D. Galigniana disagrees with the retraction.
Abstract
RETRACTION: M. Lagadari, N. R. Zgajnar, L. I. Gallo and M. D. Galigniana, ‘Hsp90‐binding immunophilin FKBP51 forms complexes with hTERT enhancing telomerase activity’, Molecular Oncology 10, no. 7 (2016): 1086–1098, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.molonc.2016.05.002. The above article, published online on 17 May 2016 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor in Chief, Kevin Ryan and John Wiley and Sons Ltd. The retraction has been agreed due to several instances of image manipulation in figures 1C, 5B, 4A and 5A. The available raw data were not compelling. Based on the number of inappropriate duplications, the editors consider the conclusions substantially compromised and are therefore retracting the paper. The author, Mario D. Galigniana, disagrees with the retraction; acknowledgement of the retraction could not be obtained…
