This article, titled "[Retracted] Astragaloside IV inhibits platelet-derived growth factor-BB-stimulated proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells via the inhibition of p38 MAPK signaling," was published in the journal Experimental & Therapeutic Medicine in 2014. However, it has since been retracted due to concerns raised by a reader. The reader pointed out that the western blotting data and Transwell migration assay data in the article were similar to data from other articles written by different authors at different research institutes. The authors were asked for an explanation but did not respond. The editor of the journal has apologized for any inconvenience caused. [Extracted from the article]
