Abstract: The article titled "Thymoquinone-Loaded Soy-Phospholipid-Based Phytosomes Exhibit Anticancer Potential against Human Lung Cancer Cells" has been retracted by the journal Pharmaceutics. Concerns were raised about duplicated images in the article that were also found in other publications with different experimental conditions. An investigation confirmed that Figure 7B in the article is a duplicate of figures from other sources. The authors were unable to provide a satisfactory explanation for the overlap of figures, leading to the retraction of the paper. The retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief, although the authors did not agree with the decision.
