Retraction Note: MicroRNA-132 promotes neurons cell apoptosis and activates Tau phosphorylation by targeting GTDC-1 in Alzheimer's disease

Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci. 2024 Feb;28(3):862. doi: 10.26355/eurrev_202402_35365.ABSTRACTThe article "MicroRNA-132 promotes neurons cell apoptosis and activates Tau phosphorylation by targeting GTDC-1 in Alzheimer's disease", by D.-Y. Liu and L. Zhang, published in Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci 2019; 23 (19): 8523-8532-DOI: 10.26355/eurrev_201910_19166-PMID: 31646584 has been retracted by the Editor in Chief. A 2020 investigation by a third party evidenced doubts about the originality of the Western blot figures, which share a similar background, regularly spaced bands, and rounded edges as a set of published papers. A report published by China's Ministry of Science and Technology in 2022 affirmed that upon investigation, it was discovered that instances of proxy investment were present in this paper. The Editor in Chief mistrusts the results and decided, therefore, to withdraw the manuscript for malpractice. The corresponding authors did not respond to journal correspondence about the retraction of this article. The Publisher apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause. https://www.europeanreview.org/article/19166.PMID:38375693 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202402_35365
