The paper titled “A Role for PPARγ in the Regulation of Cytokines in Immune Cells and Cancer” [1], published in PPAR Research, has been retracted as it is found to contain a substantial amount of materials from published papers. The three most original source papers are (1) X. Y. Yang, L. H. Wang, K. Mihalic, et al., “Interleukin (IL)-4 indirectly suppresses IL-2 production by human T lymphocytes via peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ activated by macrophage-derived 12/15-lipoxygenase ligands,” Journal of Biological Chemistry, vol. 277, no. 6, pp. 3973–3978, 2002; (2) L.
