RETRACTION : N. Batool , R. M. Sarfraz , A. Mahmood , N. Zafar , M. U. Minhas , Z. Hussain , and U. Rehman , “,” Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part B: Applied Biomaterials 110 , no. ( 2022 ): 1545 – 1562 , https://doi.org/10.1002/jbm.b.35016 . The above article, published online on 31 January 2022 in Wiley Online Library ( wileyonlinelibrary.com ), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor‐in‐Chief, Danielle Benoit; the Society for Biomaterials; and Wiley Periodicals LLC. The retraction has been agreed due to concerns raised by third parties. Specifically, the control group panels in Figure 12 were previously published by the same author group without appropriate citation to the previous work or permission for reuse. The authors stated that the same control rabbits were used in both studies and that identical representative images were selected. However, several control group results in Tables 4 and 5 significantly differ from those in the earlier publication, despite referencing the same animals. The authors failed to adequately address these discrepancies. Accordingly, the article has been retracted as the editors have lost trust in the accuracy and integrity of the whole body of data presented in the article. The authors disagree with the decision of retraction.
