# RETRACTION: Identification of IGF2 Promotes Skin Wound Healing by Co‐Expression Analysis

## TL;DR

This retracted paper claimed to identify IGF2's role in promoting skin wound healing through co-expression analysis.

## Contribution

The paper purported to present a novel finding about IGF2's role in wound healing using co-expression analysis.

## Key findings

- IGF2 was identified as a gene promoting skin wound healing.
- The study used co-expression analysis to determine gene interactions.
- The results were later found to be based on a compromised peer review process.
