Abstract

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Correction, Retraction and Removal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/policies/article-withdrawal). This article is being retracted at the request of an impartial field expert acting in the role of an independent Publishing Ethics advisor. Post-publication, an investigation was conducted on behalf of the journal by Elsevier's Research Integrity & Publishing Ethics team with guidance from the Independent Publishing Ethics Advisor. This investigation found that the article duplicates significant parts of a paper that had already appeared in Exp Eye Res. 2021 Apr. 205. 108451. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.exer.2021.108451 and Iran J Allergy Asthma Immunol. 2017 Oct;16(5):396-403, PMID: 29149779. One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that the paper has not been previously published and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Re-use of any data should be appropriately cited. Elsevier's Research Integrity & Publishing Ethics team reached out to the authors for an explanation, but they failed to provide a satisfactory explanation. Having reviewed the findings of Elsevier's Research Integrity & Publishing Ethics team, the Independent Publishing Ethics Advisor has lost confidence in the integrity of the article and has determined it should be retracted. Apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process. The authors disagree with the retraction and dispute the grounds for it. © 2026 Elsevier Ltd.
