The corresponding author has sought retraction of this work from ARS. The author statement is copied below: We, the authors, wish to retract "Cigarette Smoke-Induced Oxidative/Nitrosative Stress Impairs VEGF- and Fluid Shear Stress-Mediated Signaling in Endothelial Cells" by Edirisinghe et al. (Antioxid Redox Signal 12: 1355-1369; DOI:10.1089/ars.2009.2874) because we are not satisfied with the quality of some of the data presented in the article. Overall, however, the data are reproducible and the conclusions drawn were not affected. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused to the readers.
