On 10 February 2021, Science Translational Medicine published the Research Article “Targeted immunotherapy for HER2-low breast cancer with 17p loss” by Y. Li et al. (1). A joint research misconduct investigation involving Indiana University, the Ohio State University, and the University of Maryland, College Park determined that falsification occurred during creation of fig. S9C. The institutions have requested that the Research Article be retracted, and Science Translational Medicine is, therefore, retracting the paper in full. Authors Kathy D. Miller and Bryan P. Schneider agreed with the Retraction; authors Yujing Li, Yifan Sun, Michael Kulke, Torsten Hechler, Kevin Van der Jeught, Xinna Zhang, and Xiongbin Lu disagreed with the Retraction; authors Bin He and Andreas Pahl did not respond; and authors Tianhan Dong and Milan Radovich could not be reached.
