Retraction of: Scientific Reports 10.1038/srep36110, published online 08 November 2016
Editors have retracted this Article.
After publication it was brought to Editors attention that two panels in Figure 5 were previously used in older publications from some of the same authors1, 2. The panel 2WBI group, 3-NT in Figure 5 seems very similar to the SP group, CD68 presented in Figure 4 in1 and the panel 4WBI group, 3-NT in Figure 5 seems very similar to the SP group, CD68 shown in Figure 1E in2.
Editors requested original raw data underlying the paper, but the Authors were not able to provide all of the data, nor did the data provided contained sufficiently detailed metadata to allow for verification of its veracity. The Editors therefore not longer have confidence in the reliability of the data presented in this Article.
None of the Authors have responded to correspondence from the Editors about this retraction.
