Abstract
Retraction of ‘Acellularized spinal cord scaffolds incorporating bpV(pic)/PLGA microspheres promote axonal regeneration and functional recovery after spinal cord injury’ by Jia Liu et al., RSC Adv., 2020, 10, 18677–18686, https://doi.org/10.1039/D0RA02661A.
The Royal Society of Chemistry hereby wholly retracts this RSC Advances article due to concerns with the reliability of the data.
Part of the image in Fig. 1g (Day 3, bpV(pic) panel) is a scaled, rotated and inverted version of the image in Fig. 3d (con, β-III-tubilin panel).
The authors also informed the editor that incorrect H&E staining images, labelled with bpV(pic)/PLGA-ASC, were used in Fig. 4c.
Given the significance of the concerns about the validity of the data in the article, the findings presented in this paper are not reliable.
The authors do not agree with the decision to retract the article.
