title: Retractions. Antioxidants and Redox Signaling (ARS).
abstract: Due to the recent findings of an investigation led by the U.S. Office of Research Integrity, and as a direct result of the falsification and manipulation of data in the articles listed below, Antioxidants and Redox Signaling (ARS) is officially retracting the following published papers, authored by Dipak K. Das. 1. Malik G, Gorbounov N, Das S, Gurusamy N, Otani H, Maulik N, Goswami S, Das DK. Ischemic preconditioning triggers nuclear translocation of thioredoxin and its interaction with Ref-1 potentiating a survival signal through the PI-3-kinase-Akt pathway. Antioxid Redox Signal 8:2101-2109, 2006. 2. Muinck ED, Nagy N, Tirziu D, Murakami M, Gurusamy N, Goswami SK, Ghatpande S, Engelman RM, Simons M, Das DK. Protection against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by the angiogenic Masterswitch protein PR 39 gene therapy: the roles of HIF1alpha stabilization and FGFR1 signaling. Antioxid Redox Signal 9:437-445, 2007. These actions reinforce the high standards to which ARS is committed.
