Description
A 2026 journal notice retracts a paper on how the heat shock factor HSF1 controls the gene HYPK. The notice says concerns were raised about figures one through four after the paper appeared. Several image panels look alike or overlap, though they were said to show different test conditions. The flagged pairs span blots for HYPK, HSF1, and marker proteins across many panels.
Matching panels were found both inside the paper and against a figure in a second paper. Because the images back the paper's core claims, the editors withdrew it. The notice lists each suspect panel pair so readers can judge the scale of the overlap. It stands as a record of why the work no longer counts as reliable.
