Retraction Note to: Cell Death & Diseasehttps://doi.org/10.1038/cddis.2011.2, published online 10 February 2011
The Editors have retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding some of the data presented in the figures and supplementary materials, specifically:In Fig. 4j–l, the merged image (l) doesn’t fully match the DCX (j, green) and CDK5 (k, red) channels, and there appears to be a duplicated pattern in the top left of the merged image;Fig.
8 panels f and g appear to overlap;Fig. S4 panels f and g appear to have highly similar artifacts (with different brightness), and Fig. S4g appears to show a plain black area with no background signal.
The Editors therefore no longer have confidence in the presented data.
L Crews and E Masliah do not agree with this retraction. E Rockenstein is deceased. C Patrick and A Adame have not responded to any correspondence from the editor or publisher about this retraction.
