Description
A 2015 study of plumbagin in human pancreatic cancer cells was retracted in 2026. The editors of Drug Design, Development and Therapy issued the notice. Concerns raised in 2025 prompted a check. That check found odd matches among flow plots in one figure. It also found blot images shared with a companion article, presented as different samples. The notice gives no new findings. It records a withdrawal over data integrity, with the article staying online marked as retracted.
