The article “Fas/FasL induces myocardial cell apoptosis in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion rat model”, by X.-M. Liu, Z.-M. Yang, X.-K. Liu, published in Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci 2017; 21 (12): 2913-2918– PMID: 28682425 has been retracted by the Editor in Chief.

Following some concerns raised on PubPeer (link: https://pubpeer.com/publications/29CE1A59A8180E414855FA3871BCAC), the Editor in Chief has started an investigation to assess the validity of the results as well as possible figure manipulation.

The authors were informed about the journal’s investigation but remained unresponsive and have not provided the manuscript’s raw data.

The journal’s investigation revealed a figure overlap between panels 10 U/mL and 100 U/mL in Figure 1.

Consequently, the Editor in Chief mistrusts the results presented and has decided to retract the article.

This article has been retracted. The Publisher apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.
