J. Song, C. Lu, W. Zhao, X. Shao, "Melatonin attenuates TNF-α-mediated hepatocytes damage via inhibiting mitochondrial stress and activating the Akt-Sirt3 signaling pathway," Journal of Cellular Physiology 234, no. 11 (2019): 20969-20979, https://doi.org/10.1002/jcp.28701. The above article, published online on 25 April 2019 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the authors; the journal's Editor in Chief, Alexander Hutchison; and Wiley Periodicals LLC. The retraction has been agreed due to concerns related to the data presented in the article. Several flaws and inconsistencies between results presented and experimental methods described were found. Additionally, several image elements of the experimental data were published elsewhere in a different scientific context. The authors stated that the data has been partially generated by a third-party company. Accordingly, the conclusions of this article are considered invalid.
