Retraction Note: Investigating the effects of particle size and chemical structure on cytotoxicity and bacteriostatic … – Springer

Retraction Note: J Nanopart Res (2014) 16:2622

The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. Concerns were raised regarding figure 3A. Panels a and b appear to partially overlap despite representing two different materials. The authors have either not responded to queries about this concern or could not be contacted. The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the results and conclusions of this article.

The authors have not responded to correspondence regarding this retraction.
