RETRACTED: A likely role for a novel PH-domain containing protein, PEPP2, in connecting membrane and cytoskeleton

Abstract

The published article titled “A likely role for a novel PH-domain containing protein, PEPP2, in connecting membrane and cytoskeleton” has been retracted from the BIOCELL, Vol. 36, Issue 3, 2012. Title: A likely role for a novel PH-domain containing protein, PEPP2, in connecting membrane and cytoskeleton Authors: Yi Zou and Wenping Zhong URL: http://150.109.118.215/uploads/attached/file/20190102/20190102065508_87612.pdf The article “A likely role for a novel PH-domain containing protein, PEPP2, in connecting membrane and cytoskeleton” (Biocell 36, 127-132, 2012) has been retracted after publication by decision of the Editor-in-Chief, after he received compelling evidence indicating that the article’s content was part of a doctoral thesis and that the supervisor had not been included as an author. Also, the published work is the legal property of the University of Adelaide, and the author has not properly recognized the origin of the actual funding but, instead, has falsely attributed the funding to Jinan University and the Science Foundation (Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China). Tech Science Press is fully committed to enforce strict ethical policies and follow the COPE Retraction Guidelines. The essential condition of submission of a paper for publication in BIOCELL is that authors must declare explicitly that their works are original and have not been previously published elsewhere. Re-use of any data should be appropriately cited. To set the record straight, we hereby announce the retraction of the paper, and would like to sincerely apologize to our readers for any inconvenience this may have caused.
