At the request of the authors, The Journal of Neuroscience is retracting “SIRT1 Protects against α-Synuclein Aggregation by Activating Molecular Chaperones” by Gizem Donmez, Anirudh Arun, Chee-Yeun Chung, Pamela J. McLean, Susan Lindquist, and Leonard Guarente, which appeared on pages 124–132 of the January 4, 2012 issue.
It was brought to our attention that the Donmez et al., 2012 paper has numerous examples of unindicated splicing of gel lanes and of duplications and inversions of gel images. The prevalence of these occurrences is unacceptable and compels us to retract the paper. We offer our most sincere apologies to readers.
