RETRACTION: Downregulation of microRNA-23b Protects Against Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury via p53 Signaling Pathway by Upregulating MDM4 in Rats.

Z. Zhao, J.-Z. Guan, M. Wu, G.-H. Lai, and Z.-L. Zhu. Downregulation of microRNA-23b Protects Against Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury via p53 Signaling Pathway by Upregulating MDM4 in Rats. Journal of Cellular Biochemistry 120, no. 3 (2019): 4599-4612, https://doi.org/10.1002/jcb.27748. The above article, published online on 9 December 2018 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the authors; the journal Editor-in-Chief, Christian Behl; and Wiley Periodicals LLC. The retraction has been agreed due to concerns raised by third parties on the data presented in the article. Several flaws and inconsistencies between results presented and experimental methods described were found. Furthermore, the same sample used to depict the immunofluorescence staining in Figure 5B was found to have been used in a different scientific context in a previous publication from a different author group. Thus, the editors consider the conclusions of this article to be invalid.
