This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). This article has been retracted at the request of the editor-in-chief. Similarities were reported between images in this article and an article in Clinical Cancer Research (Zhou et al., 2005, Clin. Cancer Res. 11, 8431-8440, https://10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-05-1085). Q.J., J.Z., X.H., G.C., Y.L., K.L., L.Z., and D.M. were all authors of the Clinical Cancer Research paper as well. These concerns were initially reported in a Pubpeer thread (https://pubpeer.com/publications/FF881782FF5AFD316D42E0C0F00766). Image analysis performed by the editorial office confirmed findings of image recycling in Figures 2A and 3B of the Molecular Therapy article. This reuse (and in part misrepresentation) of data without appropriate attribution represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system.
