Retraction Note to: Mol Neurobiol (2017) 54: 5973–5987
The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. After publications, concerns were raised regarding the data presented in the figures. Specifically:
• In Figs. 2a and 4c and b-actin lanes 2–3 appear highly similar to lanes 13–14;
• In Fig. 2a, IkBa lanes 1–7 and 8–14 appear to be duplicated (flipped and adjusted for brightness);
• In Fig. 2b, lamin A/C lanes 2–4, 5–7 and 12–14 appear highly similar;
• In Fig. 4c, AKT labes 1–5 appear highly similar to lanes 10–14;
• Fig. 5 PPAR-α-KO SCI images appear highly similar to Fig. 7 CD1 WT SCI + Melatonin images;
• Fig. 6 PPAR-α-KO SCI images appear to overlap with Fig. 7 PPAR-α-KO SCI images.
The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the presented data.
None of the authors have responded to any correspondence from the publisher about this retraction.
