Retraction of: Scientific Reports 10.1038/s41598-020-80428-5, published online 08 January 2021
The Editors have retracted this Article. Concerns were raised regarding a number of figures, specifically:
Figure 1c: panel b appears to overlap with the 29 day/CNTs panel in Figure 10 of1 and the 28 Day OT panel in Figure 1 of2.
Figure 1c: panel c appears to overlap with the 14 day/control panel and the 21 day/ATO panel of Figure 1D in2.
Further checks by the Publisher have found that the error bars in Figures 1, 3 and 4 are ± 5%, not SD as stated in the Materials and Methods and Figure legends.
The Editors therefore no longer have confidence in the results and conclusions of this Article.
Ali Mohammad Alizadeh does not agree to this retraction. None of the other authors have responded to any correspondence from the Publisher about this retraction.
