Versions Notes
Pharmaceutics retracted the article “Amitriptyline-Based Biodegradable PEG-PLGA Self-Assembled Nanoparticles Accelerate Cutaneous Wound Healing in Diabetic Rats” [1] cited above. Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the publisher regarding the duplication of images.
Adhering to our complaints procedure, an investigation was conducted, which confirmed the duplication of Figure 1A in [1] with parts of Figure 5A in [2], Figure 2A in [3], and Figure 3A in [4], presenting different experimental conditions. Furthermore, the sub-figures overlapped in Figure 3 in [1], although they had different coloration.
While the authors fully cooperated with the Editorial Office during the investigation, they were unable to satisfactorily explain the overlap of the figures and meet the required quality standards for raw images in order to consider a correction as per the journal’s original image requirements policy (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/pharmaceutics/instruc-tions#oriimages). As a result, the Editorial Board and Editor-in-Chief were unable to confirm the reliability of the findings and subsequently decided to retract this paper.
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Pharmaceutics.
The authors did not agree to this retraction.
