Retraction note: Up-regulation of miR-130b expression level and down-regulation of miR-218 serve as potential biomarker in the early detection of human osteosarcoma Afshin Taheriazam1, Amir Jouya Talaei2, Mohammad Jamshidi3,4, Mohammadreza Shakeri5, Samaneh Khoshbakht6, Emad Yahaghi7 and Marjan Shokrani8* Retraction The Editor-in-Chief and Publisher have retracted this article [1] because the scientific integrity of the content cannot be guaranteed. An investigation by the Publisher found it to be one of a group of articles we have identified as showing evidence suggestive of attempts to subvert the peer review and publication system to inappropriately obtain or allocate authorship. This article showed evidence of plagiarism (most notably from the article cited [2]) and authorship manipulation.
