Retraction Note: Heme oxygenase-1-modified bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells combined with normothermic machine perfusion to protect donation after circulatory death liver grafts

The Original Article was published on 05 June 2020

Retraction to: Stem Cell Research & Therapy (2020) 11:218 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13287-020-01736-1

The Editors-in-Chief have retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding potential image overlap within the published figures. Specifically:

  • In Fig. 4A, the HBP images for the Naive and 14 d groups appear to contain an overlapping area.

  • In Fig. 5B, there appears to be overlap between the Sham-14 d and HBP-7 d, as well as NMP-1 d and BP-14 d images.

  • In Fig. 9A, the western blot images representing MYD88-1 d and p-IκBα-7 d, as well as p-IκBα-Naive and p-p65-7 d appear highly similar.


The authors have stated that these errors occurred due to mishandling of the data. The Editors-in-Chief therefore no longer have confidence in the presented data.


All authors agree to this retraction.
