This Expression of Concern is for the above article, published online on 16 August 2005 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), and has been published by agreement between the journal's Editor-in-Chief, Johnathan Napier, the Society for Experimental Biology, the Association of Applied Biologists and John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

The Expression of Concern has been agreed due to concerns raised by a third party regarding the alleged duplication of lanes 1 and 2 in Figure 8 and a subsequent integrity investigation, that found further irregularities in Figure 9 lane 3. The authors were unable to provide a satisfactory explanation and due to the time elapsed since publication, the original raw data were not available. Consequently, the journal team could not verify the authenticity of these Figures and could not exclude that these concerns affect the overall conclusions of the article. Therefore, the journal has decided to issue an Expression of Concern to inform and alert the readers.

本声明针对上述文章，于 2005 年 8 月 16 日在线发表于 Wiley 在线图书馆 (wileyonlinelibrary.com)，并经该期刊主编 Johnathan Napier、实验生物学学会、应用生物学家协会和 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

由于第三方对图 8 中泳道 1 和 2 涉嫌重复提出担忧，以及随后的完整性调查发现图 9 泳道 3 中存在进一步违规行为，因此已同意表达关切。作者无法提供令人满意的解释，并且由于发布后时间已过，无法获得原始数据。因此，期刊团队无法验证这些数字的真实性，也不能排除这些担忧影响文章的整体结论。因此，该杂志决定发出一份关注声明，以告知和警示读者。
