RETRACTION: Inhibition of Rho-kinase by Fasudil Protects Dopamine Neurons and Attenuates Inflammatory Response in an Intranasal Lipopolysaccharide-Mediated Parkinson's Model

Abstract

RETRACTION: Q. He, Y. Li, S. Guo, Y. Wang, W. Lin, Q. Zhang, J. Wang, C. Ma, and B. Xiao, “Inhibition of Rho-kinase by Fasudil Protects Dopamine Neurons and Attenuates Inflammatory Response in an Intranasal Lipopolysaccharide-Mediated Parkinson's Model,” European Journal of Neuroscience 43, no. 1 (2016): 41–52, https://doi.org/10.1111/ejn.13132

The above article, published online on 13 November 2015 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editors-in-Chief, John Foxe and Yoland Smith; the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies; and John Wiley & Sons Ltd. The retraction has been agreed due to concerns raised by another publisher that portions of Figure 6 were duplicated from an earlier publication by this research group. An internal investigation by Wiley confirmed the image duplications in this figure. The authors acknowledged this mistake but were unable to provide a satisfactory explanation to address the concerns. The retraction has been agreed because of the effect of this duplication on the interpretation of the data and results presented.
