Retraction: Stromal-Derived Factor-1{alpha}/CXCL12-CXCR 4 Axis Is Involved in the Dissemination of NSCLC Cells into Pleural Space

Steven D. Shapiro, Editor

From the Editor:

The Journal has received a letter from the president of Kagoshima University, Kagoshima, Japan, stating that after an investigation it has been determined that the article by Ken-ichi Oonakahara, Wataru Matsuyama, Ikkou Higashimoto, Masaharu Kawabata, Kimiyoshi Arimura, and Mitsuhiro Osame (1), published in the May 2004 issue of AJRCMB, was fraudulent: there was raw experimental data that could not be provided. All the authors except for one were members of the Kagoshima University Faculty of Medicine. The letter states that the Kagoshima investigative committee had contacted the lead author, Dr. Oonakahara, asking to inspect raw data for the article. The letter continues that Dr. Oonakahara explained he could not furnish that data because Dr. Matsuyama had been in charge of keeping it; unfortunately, Dr. Matsuyama has passed away.

Accordingly, the Journal retracts the publication of the article to correct the scientific record.
