Retraction note: Cell Biosci (2019) 9:28
10.1186/s13578-019-0290-2
The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article because of concerns that a number of panels in Figs. 2d, 4d and 4e are duplicated from previously published articles. Specifically:
The eight panels in Fig. 2d appear to be the same as panels in Fig. 2B of [1].
Eleven of the panels in Fig. 4d appear to be the same as panels in Fig. 2C of [1].
Five of the panels in Fig. 4e appear to overlap with panels in Fig. 3A of [2].
The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the validity of the data reported. None of the authors has responded to correspondence from the Publisher about this retraction.
