In June 2022, the corresponding author contacted the journal editors regarding posts on PubPeer alleging inappropriate image manipulation and duplication in Figures 2B, 3B, 3D, 5A, 5C, 6B, 9D, and 9E (https://pubpeer.com/publications/26EAA065E0D0B098D93C3CFDAC4DDC). Because the original data underlying these results are no longer available and due to the large number of abnormalities, the corresponding author and journal editors have determined the article must be retracted. All authors agree with the exception of the fourth-named co-author, who could not be located.
The authors believe the general conclusion of the article remains valid. They deeply apologize for the problems with the images in the published paper and the inconvenience caused.
