The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article at the authors’ request. After publication, concerns were raised regarding multiple cases of H&E staining and western blot image overlap with other articles that were submitted and published within a close time frame [1–8].
The authors have stated that the data were mislabelled and the images were misused. The authors and the Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer have confidence in the presented data.
Bo Tang has stated on behalf of all co-authors that they agree to this retraction.
