After publication, concerns were raised regarding unusual features in some of the data presented in the Figures, specifically: * The blots in Fig. 4c appear to have highly similar features between different lanes; * Some images in Fig. 5a appear to have repetitive patterns, which are unlikely to occur naturally in microscopy images.

Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) are neurodegenerative disorders of the aging population characterized by the accumulation of α-synuclein (α-syn). The mechanisms triggering α-syn toxicity are not completely understood, however, c-terminus truncation of α-syn by proteases such as calpain may have a role. Therefore, inhibition of calpain may be of value.
