Abstract
Retraction of ‘Strontium-doped gelatin scaffolds promote M2 macrophage switch and angiogenesis through modulating the polarization of neutrophils’ by Tao Li et al., Biomater. Sci., 2021, 9, 2931–2946, https://doi.org/10.1039/D0BM02126A.
The Royal Society of Chemistry hereby wholly retracts this Biomaterials Science article due to concerns with the reliability of the data.
The authors requested to publish a correction due to incorrect images in the original Fig. 5a. An independent expert reviewed the raw data files supplied by the authors and raised concerns with the integrity of the new images. The expert also raised concerns that raw data supplied for the western blot images in Fig. 4 may not be genuine and reliable. The expert concluded that neither the published data nor the corrected data support the conclusions of the article.
Given the significance of these concerns, the findings presented in the paper are no longer reliable.
The authors were informed about the retraction of the article. Tao Li and Muliang Ding have not agreed with the decision, Hongtao He, Zezheng Yang, Junjie Wang, Yuxin Zhang, Guangxu He, Jun Huang, Deye Song, Jiangdong Ni and Junfeng Zhu have not responded.
