This article has been retracted at the request of the editor-in-chief. The first author contacted the editorial office to correct Figures 1 and 3 of this article. After receiving this request, image analysis conducted by the editorial office confirmed findings of image reuse with Figures 1 and 3 in this article and articles in Cell Communication and Signaling (Park et al., 2020, Cell Commun. Signal. 18, 5, https://doi.org/10.1186/s12964-019-0503-7) and Stem Cell Research and Therapy (Park et al., 2020, Stem Cell Res. Ther. 11, 63, https://doi.org/10.1186/s13287-020-01590-1) by similar authors. The editor-in-chief reviewed these findings and has lost faith in the findings presented in the article. This reuse of data without appropriate attribution represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system. All authors agree to this retraction.
