Abstract

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier policy on Article Correction, Retraction and Removal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/policies-and-standards/article-withdrawal).

This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief.

Post-publication, an investigation conducted on behalf of the journal by Elsevier's Research Integrity & Publishing Ethics team, prompted by a PubPeer post identified concerns around the authenticity of the following figures/image panels:

Fig. 7 Pathological analyses. (A) Histological analysis of the main organ and tumor slices from various treatments by H&E staining. This figure contains two overlapping panels. A subset of II/Lung appears identical to a subset of VI/Lung.

The authors were requested to provide comment on these concerns. It was felt that the explanations provided were unsatisfactory in resolving these concerns.

The Editor has determined that the findings of the article cannot be relied upon, and has decided to retract the article. beneficial for future applications in cancer chemotherapy.
