Add this point from the article for context: "This retraction is Tessier-Lavigne’s fourth in as many months, a stunning turn of events for a researcher of his stature."

That begs the question, how did at least four such cutting-edge research works with fabricated data and results go through the review process unscathed?

Thanks. Clearly there are (or were at the time of the article) serious allegations that it is a possibility.
