Abstract

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). This article has been retracted at the request of the authors and Editor-in-Chief. Concern was raised about the reliability of the Western blot results, as detailed here: https://pubpeer.com/publications/7BB8F6559AF31100A59484E5D97802; and here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1r0MyIYpagBc58BRF9c3luWNlCX8VUvUuPyYYXzxWvgY/edit#gid=262337249. In addition, a portion of Figure 5A, CA3 ‘Positive control’ group appears to contain image similarities with Figure 5A, CA1 ‘CX3CR1 inhibitor’ group. The journal requested that the corresponding author comment on these concerns and provide the raw data. However, the authors were not able to satisfactorily fulfill this request and therefore the Editor-in-Chief decided to retract the article.

Keywords: CX3CR1; Early ischemic stroke; Fractalkine; Neurological function; Signaling pathway.
