Retraction notice to “On the in vivo early toxic properties of Aβ_25–35 peptide in the rat hippocampus: Involvement of the Receptor-for-Advanced Glycation-End-Products and changes in gene expression” [Neurotoxicology and Teratology 33 (2011) 288–296, (S0892036210002114), (10.1016/j.ntt.2010.12.002)]

This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief and the corresponding author: Please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). The editorial team at Neurotoxicology and Teratology received a request from the corresponding author, Dr. Santamaria, to evaluate the published manuscript for potential irregularities in the western blot and immunohistochemistry images presented within. The Editorial team reviewed the images in question and subsequent image analysis software identified multiple sub-image duplications or manipulations in multiple figures. The authors were contacted by the Editor-in-Chief with a request to provide the original films, images, and data for inspection and analysis. Drs. Santamaria and Ali cooperated with the journal's investigation but did not have original materials in their possession. Despite multiple attempts using publicly available email addresses, contact could not be made with the other authors to obtain their feedback regarding the concern or this retraction: E. Cuevas, S. Lantz, J.C. Tobón-Velasco, G. Newport, Q. Wu, & A. Virmani. On the strength of this evidence, and in keeping with COPE standards, the Editor-in-Chief has decided to retract the paper. Drs. Santamaria and Ali agree that retraction is the most appropriate action for this article.
