Controversy has surrounded several recent papers from Dr. Friedhelm Herrmann's laboratories in Berlin and Ulm, Germany. Following the discovery that some of the data in a paper appearing in 1996 in theJournal of Experimental Medicine were fabricated, suspicion over other papers from this group was raised. Subsequently, some, but not all, coauthors on many of the group's papers, including several published in BLOOD, have requested that their names be removed from the work(s). The authors' requests and our own review of the German Joint Commission's report on the matter have led the Editor to conclude that data was indeed falsified. As a result, the BLOODJournal regrets to inform its readers that the following publications have been retracted:
RETRACTION|
