First published: 12 June 2025

RETRACTION: M. Hosseinpour, A. B. Abdul, H. S. Rahman,A. Rasedee, S. K. Yeap, N. Ahmadi, H. H. Othman, and M. S. Chartrand,, “Comparison of Apoptotic Inducing Effect of Zerumbone and Zerumbone-Loaded Nanostructured Lipid Carrier on Human Mammary Adenocarcinoma MDA-MB-231 Cell Line”, Journal of Nanomaterials, vol. 2014 (2014). https://doi.org/10.1155/2014/742738.

The above article, published online on 18 November 2014 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

The retraction has been agreed upon following an investigation into concerns raised by Actinopolyspora biskrensis on PubPeer [1]. The investigation revealed the following concerns with figures:
  • -

    Figure 3a is overlapping with Figure 3b after a horizontal shift.

  • -

    Figure 4c1 contains multiple instances of duplicated cells and cell clusters within the panel.

As a result, the conclusions of the current article are considered unreliable, and it is therefore retracted.

Heshu Sulaiman Rahman, Mahnaz Hosseinpour, Hemn Hassan Othman, and Max Stanley Chartrand disagree with this retraction. The other authors have been informed of our decision to retract the article but did not provide a response.
