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This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). This article has been retracted at the request of the lead author, Dr. Diling Chen. Dr. Chen alerted the Editor-in-Chief that data previously published in Aging (Albany NY). 2020 Jan 6; 12:260-287 https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.102614 were accidently reused in the above-referenced Brain Research article. Dr. Chen is a co-author on both articles. The reused content pertains to the fecal transplantation data of the model group, represented by Figure 2 in the Aging article and Figure 5 in the Brain Research article. Dr. Chen did not carefully check the data published by the team before the final submission, resulting in repeated use. The lead author states further that it was an honest mistake, and the team had no intention to plagiarize previously published material. All authors were notified and all are in agreement with the retraction. The authors apologize to the scientific community for any inconvenience or challenges resulting from the publication and retraction of this article.
