Abstract

Retraction: "High expression of TCF12 contributes to gastric cancer development via being target regulated by miR-183 and activating PI3K/AKT pathway," by Xuekui Wang, Shen Gao, Feng Xie, Wei Li, Miyang Li, Ning Yan, Tiehe Gao, and Ling Fang, J Cell Biochem. 2019; 13903-13911: The above article, published online on 15 April 2019 in Wiley Online Library (https://doi.org/10.1002/jcb.28664), has been retracted by agreement between the authors, the journal's Editor in Chief, Prof. Dr. Christian Behl, and Wiley Periodicals LLC. The retraction has been agreed after the authors asked to retract their article due to flawed data. A detailed investigation revealed multiple inappropriate modifications especially in the backgrounds of blots. Since original data could not be provided, the overall validity of the results could not be confirmed. The authors were not available for a final confirmation of the retraction.
