Mater. Res., 92A: 175-184. DOI: 10.1002/jbm.a.32349. The journal publishes this Expression of Concern to notify the readers regarding irregularities identified in Figure 1A and 1B of the above article, published online on 22 January 2009, in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com). High similarities of histological images presented in Figure 1A and 1B were confirmed by professional image analysis after concerns were raised by a third party. These similarities affect the integrity of the presented micrographs representing two different membranes. Raw data provided by the authors could not explain the identified issues. The investigation performed by the journal team could not exclude that these concerns affect the overall conclusions of the article.
