The journal retracts the article titled “Preparation and Characterization of Nanofibrous Scaffolds of Ag/Vanadate Hydroxyapatite Encapsulated into Polycaprolactone: Morphology, Mechanical, and In Vitro Cells Adhesion” [1], cited above.

Following publication, concerns have been brought to the attention of the Editorial Office relating to image irregularities contained within this article [1].

Adhering to our standard procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and the Editorial Board, which confirmed a high level of similarity between a figure presented in this article [1] and earlier publications by the same authors [2,3], showing different experimental conditions.
