Retraction Note: Hippocampal neuronal cells that accumulate α-synuclein fragments are more vulnerable to Aβ oligomer toxicity via mGluR5– implications for dementia with lewy bodies

Retraction Note

The Editorial team has retracted this article.

After publication, concerns were raised regarding some of the data presented in the figures. Specifically:

• Panels Non tg and APP tg in the second row of Fig. 5A appear to overlap;

• Panels Non tg in the third rows of Fig. 6B and D appear to overlap;

• Panels APP tg and alpha-syn tg in the first row of Fig. 7D appear to overlap;

• Panels Non-tg in the second rows of Fig. 7B and D appear to overlap;

• Panels APP tg and alpha-syn tg in the third row of Fig. 7D appear to overlap;

• Some blots in Fig. 9c appear to have similar bands between the two LV-control groups (vehicle and Aβ1–42).

The authors have stated that these errors occurred during figure preparation. However, due to the number of concerns, the Editors-in-Chief no longer have confidence in the presented data.

Cassia R Overk and Eliezer Masliah disagree with this retraction. The other authors have not responded to any correspondence from the editor or publisher about this retraction.
