RETRACTION: Long Non‐Coding RNA TGLC15 Advances Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Stabilizing Sox4
TL;DR
This retracted paper claimed a non-coding RNA promotes liver cancer by stabilizing a protein, but it was found to have duplicated images and fraudulent authorship.
Contribution
The paper was retracted due to image duplication and unauthorized authorship, invalidating its scientific claims.

Abstract
RETRACTION: Y. Chen, F. Huang, L. Deng, Y. Tang, D. Li, T. Wang, Y. Fan, Q. Tao, and D. Tang, “Long Non‐Coding RNA TGLC15 Advances Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Stabilizing Sox4,” Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis 34, no. 1 (2020): e23009, https://doi.org/10.1002/jcla.23009. The above article, published online on 08 September 2019 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor‐in‐Chief, Rong Fu; and Wiley Periodicals LLC. The retraction has been agreed upon following an investigation into concerns raised by a third party, which revealed inappropriate duplication of image panels (Figure 2E) between this article and several other articles that were previously published in a different scientific context. Thus, the editors consider the conclusions of this manuscript substantially compromised. D. Tang, listed as the…
