Versions Notes
The journal retracts the article titled “Preparation and Characterization of Nanofibrous Scaffolds of Ag/Vanadate Hydroxyapatite Encapsulated into Polycaprolactone: Morphology, Mechanical, and In Vitro Cells Adhesion” [1], cited above.
Following publication, concerns have been brought to the attention of the Editorial Office relating to image irregularities contained within this article [1].
Adhering to our standard procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and the Editorial Board, which confirmed a high level of similarity between a figure presented in this article [1] and earlier publications by the same authors [2,3], showing different experimental conditions. Following a review of the material provided by the authors, the Editorial Board has lost confidence in the integrity of the findings and has decided to retract this publication [1], as per MDPI’s retraction policy (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics#_bookmark30; accessed on 1 December 2024).
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of Polymers.
The authors did not agree with this retraction.
