Abstract
Xia Jb, Zhu J, Wang Y, Azithromycin inhibits double-stranded rna-induced thymic stromal lymphopoietin release from human airway epithelial cells, Experimental Biology and Medicine (Maywood) Epub ahead of print April 24, 2014, doi: 10.1177/1535370214523889
Experimental Biology and Medicine is formally retracting an article which was made available through ePub prior to print. The article is Xia JB, Zhu J, Wang Y, Azithromycin inhibits double-stranded RNA-induced thymic stromal lymphopoietin release from human airway epithelial cells. Exp Biol Med (Maywood). 2014 Apr 24. [Epub ahead of print]. We are taking this action because we have learned, first from a reader and then the Editor of PHARMAZIE that a virtually identical article was previously published by other authors in PHARMAZIE in 2013 (Zhu C, Lei W, Huang J., Azithromycin inhibits double-stranded RNA-induced thymic stromal lymphopoietin release from human airway epithelial cells. Pharmazie. 2013 Nov; 68(11):899--903). As a result of our findings the Xia et al article will not appear in print in Experimental Biology and Medicine and University officials will be contacted.
