Retraction note: CCM3 is a gatekeeper in focal adhesions regulating mechanotransduction and YAP/TAZ signalling (Nature Cell Biology, (2021), 23, 7, (758-770), 10.1038/s41556-021-00702-0)

Retraction to: Nature Cell Biology23:758-770 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41556-021-00702-0 (2021) The authors have retracted this article because it has come to their attention that numerous errors have been identified in the immunoblotting (western blotting) experiments shown in the main Figures 1c, 3a, 4f, 5b and 6b, and the supplementary Figures 1b, 1c, 2d, 3a, 3c, 7f, 8b and 9b. The authors have conducted an internal investigation of these immunoblotting experiments, and concluded that, although they believe that their overall findings are still valid, given the extent of the corrections required the article should be retracted. A subsequent investigation by the National Board for Assessment of Research Misconduct (NPOF) at the request of Lund University concluded that the errors in the western blot results reported in the article represent a serious breach of good research practice. The authors deeply regret these circumstances and apologize to the scientific community.

Prinz, Vinay Swaminathan and Chris D. Madsen agree with this retraction.
