Description
Haiyan Pan and co-authors are the subject of this 2026 retraction notice from the journal Cancer Cell International. It withdraws their earlier paper, published in 2020, which claimed a long non-coding RNA drives stomach cancer cell growth and spread through a partner RNA chain.
After publication, concerns were raised about the Western blot and flow cytometry data in three of the paper's figures. The authors could not provide the raw data when asked to back it up. The editors state they have lost confidence in the results and conclusions. The notice adds that none of the authors replied to letters about the retraction.
