Nature Issues Editorial Expression of Concern on Gastric Cancer Study
The prestigious scientific journal Nature has published an Editorial Expression of Concern regarding a previously released research article titled 'Nociceptive neurons promote gastric tumour progression via a CGRP–RAMP1 axis.' The original study, published online in February 2025, investigated the role of nociceptive neurons in advancing gastric tumors. However, the editors have now alerted the scientific community to significant concerns raised about the integrity of the data. Specifically, issues were identified involving a high number of repetitive values within the Source Data files associated with several figures in the paper. This editorial notice serves to maintain transparency and alert readers to potential irregularities in the reported findings while the matter is under review. The article involves researchers from prominent institutions such as Columbia University Medical Center in the United States and various hospitals and universities in China. This development highlights the ongoing scrutiny of scientific data integrity in high-impact medical research, particularly in the field of oncology and gastric cancer studies.
