This study on effects of probiotics in Parkinson's clinical trial has been retracted. pubpeer.com/publications.... This yogurt stuff confuses me: Could impair sociability pubpeer.com/publications... but help with Parkinson's?? I guess both studies are goofy. I love yogurt.

Another @plosone.org retraction of an Eliezer Masliah paper.
Findings by @mumumouse2.bsky.social and me.
"Regarding the similarities within the western blot panels in Fig 2A, the corresponding author stated that this figure was included for illustration purposes only."
pubpeer.com/publications...

Figure 2A from the retracted paper, showing four Western blots with 12 lanes each. Using boxes of the same color (in blue, pink, green, orange, and purple) I have marked lanes or parts of lanes that look repetitive, suggesting the photo has been digitally altered.

These two XRD only differ in places of two peaks. The weird part is that they indicate the same stuff, but one with two extra peaks. The peak at 7.5 KeV doesn't help.
