Description
Expression of Concern: The PLOS One Editors warn readers to treat the findings in the study of the ING5 protein and cell growth with caution. Concerns cover overlapping figure panels, missing detail on statistical tests, partial loss of original data, and values under two figures that do not match the published charts. The original authors could not explain those mismatches.
One figure was replaced with repeat experiment images and its chart updated, which settled that part. Other worries remain open, including charts whose statistics cannot be confirmed. Editors advise special caution for results in the final figures. The underlying claim, that the protein is altered by a growth enzyme and guides cell division apart from a known guard protein, stays unproven until data are complete.
