Retraction Note: Neuropathological and neuroprotective features of vitamin B12 on the dorsal spinal ganglion of rats after the experimental crush of sciatic nerve: an experimental study Rahim Hobbenaghi1, Javad Javanbakht2*, Ehan Hosseini3, Shahin Mohammadi4, Mojtaba Rajabian5, Pedram Moayeri6 and Mehdi Aghamohammad Hassan7 Retraction Note The Editor-in-Chief and Publisher have retracted this article [1] because the scientific integrity of the content cannot be guaranteed. An investigation by the Publisher found it to be one of a group of articles we have identified as showing evidence suggestive of attempts to subvert the peer review and publication system to inappropriately obtain or allocate authorship. This article showed evidence of plagiarism (most notably from the articles cited [2–7]) and peer review and authorship manipulation.
