Withdrawal: Myocardial cell death and regeneration during progression of cardiac hypertrophy to heart failure. [Withdrawals/Retractions]

This article has been withdrawn by Sagartirtha Sarkar, Mamta Chawla-Sarkar, Kazutoshi Nishiyama, Joe G. Hollyfield, and Subha Sen. David Young and Mary E. Rayborn could not be reached. The images from 9-month-old mice in Fig. 1A were reused from Sarkar, S., et al. (2004) J. Biol. Chem. 279, 20422–20434 as 1-year-old and 18-week-old mice. The withdrawing authors state that they showed the images of the heart at the recommendation of a reviewer to introduce the model. The first four lanes of the GAPDH immunoblot in Fig. 3B were reused in the last four lanes as well as in Figs. 3D, 6 (B and C), and 8B and Sarkar, S., et al. (2004) J. Biol. Chem. 279, 20422–20434. Additionally, the GAPDH immunoblots in Figs. 3D and 6 (B and C) are the same. In Fig. 3B, the first two lanes of the Fas immunoblot are the same. In Fig. 6B, the first two lanes of the cyclin D3 immunoblot are the same. In Fig. 6C, the first two lanes of the Cdk1 immunoblot are the same.The withdrawing authors do not agree that the first four lanes of the GAPDH immunoblot in Fig 3B were reused in the last four lanes as well as in Figs. 3D, 6 (B and C), and 8B and in Sarkar, S., et al. (2004) J. Biol. Chem. 279, 20422–20434. The withdrawing authors state that they provided evidence that these images are different based on different densitometric scan values for each lane under...
