Retraction: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression in dorsal root ganglion neurons in response to reanastomosis of the distal stoma after nerve grafting

https://doi.org/10.4103/1673-5374.306099

At the request of the authors,Neural Regeneration Researchis retracting the original article titled “Brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression in dorsal root ganglion neurons in response to reanastomosis of the distal stoma after nerve grafting” (Yu et al., 2012;doi:10.3969/j.issn.1673-5374.2012.26.002).

The bands of BDNF and GAPDH products from RT-PCR were put together in Figure 1, which looks like they were separated by agarose gel in the same lane. This might cause some confusion for readers. Figure 2 is affected by the identified errors.

The authors apologize for any inconvenience this retraction may cause for readers and regret not being able to provide the original image data of Figures 1 and 2 to re-organize because,according to the authors, the data was lost during the time passed.
