Dear officers,
 
I have a question about a research article published in FEBS Lett last year. I have a concern about the conclusion of this report.
 
This small paper is roughly composed of two parts. In the first part, the author proposed a hypothesis based on a finding. In the second part, they proved this hypothesis correct. However, the data for this finding went so wrong that one is able to point out the problems without even repeating the experiment. All my colleagues agree with me.
 
Is it possible for me send our questions to FEBS Lett directly for an explanation? Can you give us some advice on solving controversy like this? 

 
Thank you very much for your attention. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
 
Regards,
 

HinKiu Mok (PhD)
