RETRACTION: Trans-Cleaving Hammerhead Ribozyme in Specific Regions Can Improve Knockdown Efficiency In Vivo.

Y. Peng, X. Ai, and B. Peng, "Trans-cleaving Hammerhead Ribozyme in Specific Regions Can Improve Knockdown Efficiency In Vivo," Journal of Cellular Biochemistry (Early View): https://doi.org/10.1002/jcb.30249. The above article, published online on 11 April 2022 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the authors; the journal Editor-in-Chief, Christian Behl; and Wiley Periodicals LLC. The retraction has been agreed upon the authors' request due to concerns related to the data presented in the article. The authors admitted significant errors in the evaluation of the fluorescence intensity, resulting in inaccurate data on the trans-cleaving efficiency of the presented system. They also informed the journal of errors in the results of the immunoblot assays. As the identified errors affect the overall conclusions of the study, the article is retracted.
