Dear Editors,
I believe that some of the figures have been fabricated in the publication:
The RNA-Binding Protein KSRP Promotes Decay of β-Catenin mRNA and Is Inactivated by PI3K-AKT Signaling
Roberto Gherzi, Michele Trabucchi, Marco Ponassi, Tina Ruggiero, Giorgio Corte, Christoph Moroni, Ching-Yi Chen, Khalid S Khabar, Jens S Andersen, Paola Briata Paola Briata
PLoS Biology: Research Article, published 19 Dec 2006 10.1371/journal.pbio.0050005
Please have a look at the attached annotated copies of Fig 6 and Fig 7 from this publication.
Not only are there multiple illegitimate duplications and pastes, there are also controls that have been copied from Figure 2 of a paper in Molecular Cell 20:891 published by the same authors in 2005.
(Incidentally, this 2005 paper also contains images that appear to be fabricated.)
Could you please handle this matter according to the COPE guidelines, and please acknowledge receipt of this message by replying to this email.
Yours sincerely,
