This paper examined whether increased MALAT1 expression promotes granulosa cell proliferation in endometriosis through an AMPK–mTOR signaling axis, using experimental data including EdU staining and immunofluorescence assays. After publication, the journal retracted the article because the Editor determined that some of the Fig. 2C and Fig. 4A and 6E data closely resembled data from other previously published articles by different authors at different institutions. The authors accepted the retraction, and the editor noted that the underlying issue was apparent prior publication/overlap of the shown data, which limits any interpretation of the reported findings. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically claims an AMPK‑mTOR/MALAT1 mechanism driving granulosa cell proliferation in endometriosis, but it was retracted.

In view of the fact that the abovementioned data had already apparently been published previously, the Editor of Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine has decided that this paper should be retracted from the Journal. After having been in contact with the authors, they accepted the decision to retract the paper. The Editor apologizes to the readership for any inconvenience caused.
