The article “Boswellia serrata and Salvia miltiorrhiza extracts reduce DMN-induced hepatic fibrosis in mice by TGF-beta1 downregulation” by R. Sferra, A. Vetuschi, V. Catitti, S. Ammanniti, S. Pompili, D. Melideo, G. Frieri, E. Gaudio, G. Latella published in Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci 2012; 16 (11): 1484-1498–PMID: 23111960 has been retracted in accordance with the Publisher and the Editor in Chief.

Following some concerns raised on PubPeer, the Journal has started an investigation to assess the validity of the results as well as possible figure and data manipulation.

The authors were contacted and informed of the ongoing investigation. The authors stated that “due to an inadvertent error that occurred during the preparation of the manuscript, some images and data were mistakenly selected from an incorrect file, resulting in the inclusion of material previously published in Liver International (2009)”. The article has been, therefore, retracted according to COPE guidelines.

This article has been retracted.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