Abstract

N. Gabellini, V. Masola, S. Quartesan, B. Oselladore, C. Nobile, R. Michelucci, M. Curtarello, C. Parolin, and G. Palù, Journal of Cellular Physiology 207, no. 3 (2006): 711-721. https://doi.org/10.1002/jcp.20627. The above article, published online on 03 March 2006, in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), and has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor-in-Chief, Robert Heath; and Wiley Periodicals LLC. A third party reported that the GAPDH blots in Figure 1 and Figure 6 showed evidence of image manipulation. An investigation by the publisher found evidence of duplication, resizing, and splicing between Figures 1B and 6B as well as evidence of splicing in Figures 1A and 6A. The authors did not respond to an inquiry by the publisher and a request for original data. The retraction has been agreed to because the results presented in the article can no longer be considered reliable.
