The Editors have retracted this article because of significant concerns regarding several Figures presented in this work, which question the integrity of the data. After publication, overlap was detected between Figs. 2A and 4E of [1]. In addition, an investigation by the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology found the contents of the paper to be unreliable.
The Editors therefore no longer have confidence in the integrity of the data in this article.
None of the authors have responded to any correspondence from the editor/publisher about this retraction.
