Description
A retraction note published in 2026 retracts a 2011 Virology Journal article by Sibnarayan Datta and co-authors on how hepatitis C virus resists interferon alpha in cell culture. The editor states the article was retracted over multiple image overlap concerns between figure panels. The authors could not provide the original data when asked, so confidence in the study was lost. Six named authors agree to the retraction.
