质疑信息


  • 图3C存在一处重叠面板,旋转后重叠。

Figure 3C.

Red boxes: Two panels appear 



  • 图1B与其他论文中的部分WB印迹一致。

Figure 1B: the Western blots here look very similar to those in Figure 1B of another paper by the same group. They might be representing the same patient samples, but the top panel is representing a different protein.
