Key Points

The aim was to evaluate the degradability, bioactivity, and osteogenesis of lithium-containing biocomposite scaffolds.
Investigated the structural integrity of images across study figures.
Reviewed H&E staining and SEM images for inconsistencies.
Analyzed treatment conditions for duplicates.
Identified duplicate image panels in treatment conditions.
Noted unusual similarities in H&E staining images.
Confirmed SEM images showed unusual similarities due to production errors.

Abstract

Further investigation conducted by the Journal and Publisher confirmed the following:-Duplicate image panels representative of different treatment conditions present in Figures 10A and10B.-Unusual similarities present within the individual images for the H&E staining shown in Figure 12.-Unusual similarities were also identified within the SEM images shown in Figures 2 and5.However, these were found to be a result of production errors.
