Retraction: SRCIN1 Suppressed Osteosarcoma Cell Proliferation and Invasion (PLoS ONE (2016) 11:8 (e0155518) DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0155518)

Abstract

The PLOS ONE Editors retract this article [1] because it was identified as one of a series of submissions for which we have concerns about peer review, authorship, and similarities across articles. Image similarities were noted between Fig 1A in [1] and Fig 1A in [2,3], between Fig 3E in [1] and Fig 3B in [4] and Fig 6A in [5], and between Fig 5A in [1] and Fig 2D in [6,7]. These concerns call into question the validity and provenance of the reported results. We regret that the issues were not addressed prior to the article’s publication.
