Integrity Assessment Report: A battery-free nanofluidic intracellular delivery patch for internal organs (Nature, 2025)

Academic fraud report · Geng Detector

Summary

This report addresses a Nature 2025 paper by Dedong Yin and colleagues describing a battery-free nanofluidic intracellular delivery patch for internal organs, evaluated under DOI 10.1038/s41586-025-08943-x. The original Chinese-language detection input did not contain any substantive findings, accusations, or flagged evidence; the detection report body was effectively empty. In accordance with the principle of not fabricating allegations where no source material is provided, the paper is given a provisional 'clean' verdict. No image duplications, data inconsistencies, statistical anomalies, authorship concerns, or figure manipulations were identified within the input. The assessment is strictly limited by the absence of the original forensic report, and confidence in the clean verdict is therefore conditional. A thorough re-evaluation is recommended once the full original detection report is supplied.

Verdict

Provisional: Clean (insufficient input). The original detection report provided no specific allegations or evidence. Per the stated principle that new integrity findings must not be invented, the paper is not flagged on this pass. Any substantive judgment requires the original detection report.

Key findings

No specific findings were supplied in the source materials.
No image-level, data-level, statistical, or authorship concerns were raised that could be evaluated or verified.
The provisional verdict is explicitly conditional; it does not constitute an endorsement of the paper's integrity.

Evidence highlights

DOI: 10.1038/s41586-025-08943-x (preserved as supplied).
Title: A battery-free nanofluidic intracellular delivery patch for internal organs.
Authors: Dedong Yin, Pan Wang, Yongcun Hao, Wei Yue, Xinran Jiang, et al.
Journal: Nature, 2025.
Evidence presented in input: none beyond bibliographic metadata; no figures, panels, duplication scores, similarity indices, or statistical tests were provided for cross-checking.

Notes

The Chinese-language reviewer (耿同学) explicitly states that the original detection report was missing and therefore declined to fabricate allegations. This translation faithfully preserves that position.
Recommended next steps for the requester: supply the full original detection report (including any flagged figures, similarity regions, raw data, or statistical computations) so that a substantive re-evaluation can be performed.
Until such material is provided, no retraction-watch, public challenge, or formal allegation is warranted based solely on this input.
