RETRACTION: Long Noncoding RNA ZFAS1 Promotes Tumorigenesis and Metastasis in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma by Sponging Mir‐892b to Up‐Regulate LPAR1 Expression
TL;DR
This retraction notice states that a paper on how a long noncoding RNA promotes cancer in nasopharyngeal carcinoma is being retracted due to unreliable results and duplicate images.
Contribution
The paper is being retracted due to concerns about duplicated images and unreliable results, compromising its conclusions.
Findings
Multiple image panels were found to be published elsewhere in a different scientific context.
The conclusions of the manuscript are considered substantially compromised.
The retraction was agreed upon after concerns were raised about the reliability of the results.
