 A retraction of the Original Research Article Immunosuppressant MPA Modulates Tight Junction through Epigenetic Activation of MLCK/MLC-2 Pathway via p38MAPK by Khan, N., Pantakani, D. V. K., Binder, L., Qasim, M., and Asif, A. R. (2015). Front. Physiol. 6:381. doi: 10.3389/fphys.2015.00381

The Journal and Chief Editors retract the 22 December 2015 article cited above. Based on information discovered after publication and reported to Frontiers in January 2017, the article was examined, revealing image duplications in Figures 1B, 2E.
