RETRACTION: CircPTPRM Accelerates Malignancy of Papillary Thyroid Cancer via miR‐885‐5p/DNMT3A Axis

TL;DR
This retracted study claimed that a circular RNA called CircPTPRM promotes the spread of papillary thyroid cancer through a specific molecular pathway.
Contribution
The paper introduced a novel mechanism involving CircPTPRM, miR-885-5p, and DNMT3A in thyroid cancer progression.
Findings
CircPTPRM was reported to accelerate malignancy in papillary thyroid cancer.
The miR-885-5p/DNMT3A axis was proposed as a key pathway in this process.
Irregularities in ethical approval and data reuse were identified, leading to retraction.
