The Editors have retracted this Article.

After the publication of this Article, concerns about overlapping image panels were brought to the attention of the Editors. Specifically:

  • In Figure 5a, there is an area of partial overlap between the panels for Control and 10s.

  • In Figure 8, there is an area of partial overlap between the panels for SCH772984 and SB203580.

The Editors no longer have confidence in the reliability of the data and the conclusions drawn.

Wei Li disagrees with this retraction. Wei Han did not explicitly state whether they agree or disagree with this retraction. The remaining authors did not respond to correspondence from the Publisher about this retraction.
