This article has been retracted: Aging has completed its investigation of this paper. We found internal duplication in Figure 2C, illustrating results of wound healing assays, and duplication between EdU assay images in Figures 2B and 3G. We also found multiple instances of overlap between some of the EdU assay images used for Figures 2B, 3G and 5D and data published by other authors in 2018 and 2019 [1–4]. Unexpectedly, the images of rulers (with specific imperfections) used to illustrate tumor size duplicate such images from two unrelated papers [5,6]. Consequently, all authors agreed that the article should be retracted.
