The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding similarities between this article and an earlier article from a different author group (Yi et al. 2014). Specifically, Fig. 1c, second image from the left, appears highly similar to Fig. 4b, right image, in Yi et al. (2014). In addition, the articles appear to have similar overall structure, methodology and result presentation.
The authors have not provided the underlying raw data for validation upon request.
The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the presented data.
Min Wang has not responded to any correspondence from the editor or publisher about this retraction. The publisher has not been able to obtain a current email address for Jia Liu.
