Retraction to: Gene Therapy
The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article [1] due to concerns regarding the figures and the underlying data. The authors informed the journal that they have not been able to reproduce the results presented in the article. Further investigation found significant text overlap with an article by different authors that was simultaneously under consideration at the same time at another journal [2]. Additionally, there appear to be overlapping figures between the two articles:
The data reported in this article are therefore unreliable. ChangSheng Ma agrees with this retraction. The other authors have not responded to correspondence regarding this retraction.
