# RETRACTION: lncRNA NEAT1/miR‐495‐3p Regulates Angiogenesis in Burn Sepsis Through the TGF‐β1 and SMAD Signaling Pathways

## TL;DR

This retracted paper claimed that lncRNA NEAT1/miR-495-3p regulates angiogenesis in burn sepsis via TGF-β1 and SMAD pathways, but was retracted due to scientific flaws.

## Contribution

The paper originally proposed a novel regulatory mechanism involving lncRNA NEAT1 and miR-495-3p in burn sepsis.

## Key findings

- The study reported that NEAT1/miR-495-3p influences angiogenesis in burn sepsis.
- It suggested TGF-β1 and SMAD signaling pathways are involved in this process.
- However, the findings were retracted due to methodological and result inconsistencies.
