RETRACTED: The role of ASIC1a in neuroprotection elicited by quercetin in focal cerebral ischemia

Brain Res. 2011 Apr 6:1383:289-99. doi: 10.1016/j.brainres.2011.01.085. Epub 2011 Jan 31.

Abstract

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). This article is being retracted at the request of the Authors. The authors provided the following reasons: 1. The first author of the paper omitted the name of one of the contributors and did not disclose that he had been involved in similar studies at another Center. The results of these studies were previously published in another journal, resulting in a striking similarity between the images in this article and that of Mishra V et al., 2010 Neuropharmacology https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropharm.2010.08.015 2. The authors were not able to reproduce the results of the Western blotting data given in the paper. It should be noted that the Editor-in-Chief has serious concerns about the fact that some images in these studies were previously published in unrelated studies in another journal.
