The Editors-in-Chief have retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding highly similar images in Fig. 1A-C, specifically:

  • Panels A2 and C2 appear highly similar, with 180 degree rotation.

  • Panels A3 and C3 appear to overlap.

  • Panels B4 and C4 appear to overlap.

The authors have stated that incorrect images have been selected for this figure, and the raw data are no longer available. Due to the number of incorrect images, the Editors-in-Chief no longer have confidence in the presented data.
