The Editor has retracted this article after concerns were raised about the data reported. Specifically:
-
The image panels for Fig. 1 h and 1j appear to be duplicates.
-
The image panels for Fig. 1k and 1L appear to overlap.
-
The image panels for Fig. 3f, 3 g, 3 h, and 3i appear to have been previously published in a paper with no common authors [1].
The Editor no longer has confidence in the reliability of the results and findings of this article.
Feng Yang did not respond to correspondence from the Publisher regarding this retraction. The Publisher was not able to confirm current contact details for the remaining authors.
