Bioinformatics-based screening of hub genes for prostate cancer bone metastasis and analysis of immune infiltration.

Bioinformatics analysis of genes and immune cells that influence prostate cancer (PCa) bone metastases. Using the gene expression omnibus database, we analyzed a PCa bone metastasis dataset. Differentially expressed genes were identified through the utilization of GEO2R and weighted gene co-expression network analysis.

We have been made aware of the fact that a large proportion of the Introduction section and corresponding references of the title paper [1] had been copied verbatim from an earlier paper by Hamdy and Gamal-Eldeen [2], and further, during our investigation it has also come to light that most of the text in question had been lifted unchanged from an even earlier review paper by a different group [3]. The authors have been contacted, these facts confirmed, and Dr. Amira M.

Publisher's Note: Withdraw and Republication of "UV-Induced Radical Photo-Polymerization: A Smart Tool for Preparing Polymer Electrolyte Membranes for Energy Storage Devices".

It has been brought to the corresponding author's attention by the administration office that some of the authors present in this paper [1] are contradicting with the rules and regulation of some of the confidential industrial projects which have been signed with strict regulations. Now it has aroused as a big trouble and, consequently, to solve this problem all the authors have determined that it should be retracted. This decision has been taken purely for bureaucratic aspect.

Publication of Controversial Papers in Life.

Life (ISSN 2075-1729, http://www.mdpi.com/journal/life/) is a new journal that deals with new and sometime difficult interdisciplinary matters.

The Journal Microarrays.

Our publishing company MDPI AG has its headquarters in Basel, Switzerland where there are thousands of scientists working in the laboratories of pharmaceutical companies and institutes including Novartis [1], F. Hoffmann-La Roche [2] and institutes affiliated with University of Basel [3]. In 1996, the first annual microplate conference MipTec was held in Basel, and the MipTec 2011 was held a few days ago in Basel [4].

Origin of Life and Birth of Life - An Open Access Journal.

Our publishing company MDPI (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute) planned to launch this journal Life (ISSN 2075-1729) since June 2009. Life science as a topic covers a very broad area. We decided to focus the scope of this new journal on the origin of life and the evolution of biosystems such as molecular evolution.

Cells - An Open Access Journal of Cell Biology.

To expand the open access publishing project of our newly founded company MDPI [1,2] based in Basel, Switzerland, we are in the process of launching new journals. Based on our success in running journals that represent key areas in science and technology, such as Molecules [3], Sensors [4], Energies [5], Viruses [6], Pharmaceuticals [7], Cancers [8] and Toxins [9], we are launching a new journal entitled Cells. It is an open access journal combining cell biology, molecular biology and biophysics, toward an understanding of cell structure, function and interactions.

Resumed Publication of in 2009.

After a five year hiatus, we are pleased to announce the resumption of publication of the MDPI journal (ISSN 1424-8247). First launched in 2004, few suitable papers were submitted and only one was published [1], before our limited editorial resources at the time led us to temporarily discontinue publication. Several things have changed since then.

[Raw material synthesis and characterization of YVO4 birefringent crystal].

In this paper, synthesis of YOV4 birefringence crystal raw material in liquid phase was studied. Mostly, the effects of solution's pH values and some other synthesis conditions on purity and whiteness were discussed. Infra-red spectrometry, X-ray powder diffraction and UV spectrometry were used in the characterization of the raw material and single crystal, and in this way the best method of synthesis was defined.
