Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity has retracted the article titled “Biomolecular Modulation of Neurodegenerative Events during Ageing” [1]. As raised on PubPeer, the article was found to contain images with signs of duplication and manipulation in Figures 4 and 5.
Panels b' and c' in Figure 4 appear to show the same image, but rotated 180 degrees in c' and shown at a shorter exposure
Panels b' and c' in Figure 5 also appear to show the same image, but rotated 180 degrees in c' and shown at a shorter exposure
Panel b in Figure 4 and panel b in Figure 5 appear to show an overlap when one of them is rotated 180 degrees [2].
The figure comparisons are shown in the supplementary materials. The authors do not agree with retraction, but we consulted our Editorial Board who confirmed the concern.
Supplementary Materials
Figure duplication in Figures 4 and 5 of OMCL/978654.
