RETRACTION: XBP1 Inhibits Mesangial Cell Apoptosis in Response to Oxidative Stress via the PTEN/AKT Pathway in Diabetic Nephropathy
TL;DR
This retracted paper claimed that XBP1 prevents kidney cell death in diabetes through a specific pathway, but issues with duplicated images led to its retraction.
Contribution
The paper originally proposed a novel mechanism involving XBP1 and the PTEN/AKT pathway in diabetic nephropathy.
Findings
XBP1 was reported to inhibit mesangial cell apoptosis via the PTEN/AKT pathway.
The study suggested XBP1's protective role against oxidative stress in diabetic nephropathy.
Findings were later invalidated due to image duplication issues.
