title: Retraction.
abstract: This article has been retracted at the request of: Editor-in-Chief and Author 'Inhibition of nuclear factor κb activity by genistein is mediated via Notch-1 signaling pathway in pancreatic cancer cells', by Wang, Z., Zhang, Y., Banerjee, S., Li, Y. and Sarkar, F. H. The above article and associated erratum, published online on 11 November 2005 and 6 February 2014, respectively, in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), have been retracted by agreement between the authors, the journal Editor-in-Chief, Professor Peter Lichter, and Wiley Periodicals, Inc. In addition to what was corrected in the erratum, a university investigation involving the first and the corresponding author determined that several figures in this paper were re-used, mislabeled, manipulated, or duplicated while processing/compiling the final figures assembled from the original data sources. Therefore, the authors are retracting the paper in its entirety although they maintain that these issues did not affect the major conclusions. They apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Reference Wang, Z., Zhang, Y., Banerjee, S., Li, Y. and Sarkar, F. H.
