The Editor-in-Chief would like to alert the readers that concerns have been raised regarding the images presented in Fig. 3 of this article, specifically:

  • Fig. 3C, pAKT, Erb-hcAb and Erb-hRNase seem to be highly similar to one another

  • Fig. 3C, Actin and Fig. 2C, Actin [1] appear to be highly similar

The authors had been given the opportunity to address the concerns raised; however, they did not respond to the Publisher’s correspondence about this Editorial Expression of concern.

Readers are therefore advised to interpret these results with caution.
