Key Points

The aim was to investigate how nano-laponite affects surface performance and biological responses in a biocomposite material.
Review of SEM images and EDS mapping for integrity
Examination of histology images for discrepancies
Verification against raw data and documentation provided by authors.
Identification of unusual similarities in SEM and histology images
Concerns raised regarding data integrity
Retraction due to potential issues with the original data provided.

Abstract

Unusual similarities present within the SEM image panels shown in Figure 1B Unusual similarities within the individual EDS mapping shown in Figures 4G and4I Unexpected similarities between the histology images shown in Figure 11 When approached for an explanation, the authors have provided their raw data and the relevant documentation.Upon further review, the Journal and Publisher identified additional integrity concerns present in the original raw data provided for Figures 4 and 11.
