Mediators of Inflammation has retracted the article titled “Activation of CD137 Signaling Enhances Vascular Calcification through c-Jun N-Terminal Kinase-Dependent Disruption of Autophagic Flux” [1] because of image overlap with the authors previously published work. Specifically: (i)Figure 1(a) [1] Von Kossa panels appear identical to Figure 1 [2](ii)Figure 1(a) [1] LC3B, Beclin 1 and p62 panels appear identical to Figure 2 [2](iii)Figure 1(e) [1] appears identical to Figure 7 [2](iv)Figure 3(e) [1] appears identical to Figure 5 [2](v)Figure 5(d) [1] appears identical to Figure 6 [3]The authors were unresponsive to communications regarding this retraction.
