[Retracted] miR ‑34a is downregulated in human osteosarcoma stem‑like cells and promotes invasion, tumorigenic ability and self‑renewal capacity

Mol Med Rep. 2024 May;29(5):72. doi: 10.3892/mmr.2024.13196. Epub 2024 Mar 15.ABSTRACTFollowing the publication of this paper, it was drawn to the Editor's attention by a concerned reader that certain of the Transwell cell invasion assay data shown in Fig. 4B on p. 1635 were strikingly similar to data appearing in different form in other articles written by different authors at different research institutes, which had either already been published or were submitted at around the same time. Owing to the fact that the contentious data in the above article had already been published prior to its submission to Molecular Medicine Reports, the Editor has decided that this paper should be retracted from the Journal. The authors were asked for an explanation to account for these concerns, but the Editorial Office did not receive a reply. The Editor apologizes to the readership for any inconvenience caused.
