RETRACTED

The journal retracts the article “Rosmarinic Acid Attenuates the Lipopolysaccharide-Provoked Inflammatory Response of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell via Inhibition of MAPK/NF-κB Cascade” [1] cited above. Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the Editorial Office regarding the integrity of images presented in this publication [1]. Adhering to standard procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and the Editorial Board, which identified indications of inappropriate editing and partial duplication between Figure 3B presented in this article [1] and Figure 5A of an earlier publication [2], produced by a similar research group and presenting different experimental conditions. While the authors collaborated during this process, raw materials meeting the journal’s requirements for original images (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/pharmaceuticals/instructions#oriimages) could not be provided for Editorial Board evaluation. Consequently, the Editorial Board has lost confidence in the reliability of the findings and has decided to retract this publication, as per MDPI’s retraction policy (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics#_bookmark30). This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Pharmaceuticals. The authors did not provide a comment on this decision.
