Abstract: The article titled "Ceftriaxone and Melittin Synergistically Promote Wound Healing in Diabetic Rats" has been retracted by the journal Pharmaceutics. Concerns were raised about the duplication of images in the publication, and an investigation confirmed the overlap in Figure 2A, which presented different experimental conditions. The authors were unable to provide a satisfactory explanation for the duplication and did not meet the required quality standards for raw images. As a result, the Editorial Board and Editor-in-Chief decided to retract the paper due to concerns about the reliability of the findings. It is important to note that the authors did not agree with this retraction.
