The above article, published online on 07 July 2021 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the authors, the journal Editor-in-Chief, Stefan Constantinescu, The Foundation for Cellular and Molecular Medicine and John Wiley and Sons Ltd. The authors asked to retract the article as they found that the ARO cell line used in the study has been contaminated with a HT-29 derivative, and therefore the conclusions of the paper are not supported. Subsequently, an investigation into concerns raised by a third party, revealed inappropriate duplication of images between this and other articles that were previously published in a different scientific context. Thus, the editors consider the conclusions of this manuscript substantially compromised. Although the authors initially asked for the retraction, when asked to approve the retraction wording, they remained unresponsive.

上述文章于 2021 年 7 月 7 日在线发表于 Wiley 在线图书馆 (wileyonlinelibrary.com)，经作者、期刊主编 Stefan Constantinescu、细胞与分子医学基金会和 John Wiley 同意撤回作者要求撤回该文章，因为他们发现该研究中使用的ARO细胞系已被HT-29衍生物污染，因此该论文的结论不受支持。随后，对第三方提出的担忧进行的调查发现，本文与之前在不同科学背景下发表的其他文章之间存在不当的图像重复。因此，编辑认为这篇手稿的结论受到了严重损害。尽管作者最初要求撤回，但当被要求批准撤回措辞时，他们仍然没有回应。
