Retraction: Downregulation of Notch-1 Contributes to Cell Growth Inhibition and Apoptosis in Pancreatic Cancer Cells

This article (1) has been retracted at the request of the editors. Following an institutional review by Wayne State University (Detroit, MI), the primary affiliation for several authors, it was determined that multiple Western blot bands in Fig. 5 were falsified and/or fabricated. As a result of these findings, the institution recommended retraction and, upon internal review, the editors agree with this recommendation.

A copy of this retraction notice was sent to the last known email addresses for five of the six authors. One author (J. Liao) agreed to the retraction; four authors (Z. Wang, Y. Li, S. Banerjee, and F.H. Sarkar) did not respond; the remaining author (Y. Zhang) could not be located.
