Retraction of: Scientific Reports10.1038/srep29646, published online 27 July 2016
The Editors have retracted this Article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding the data presented in Figure 11. Specifically,
Figure 11e appears to overlap with Figure 4d in1. These Panels represent tissues taken from animals which underwent different treatments;
A portion of Figure 11g appears to overlap, when re-scaled, with a portion of Figure 6c in2. These Panels represent tissues taken from animals which underwent different treatments;
A portion of Figure 11c appears to overlap, when re-scaled, with a portion of Figure 4c in3. These Panels represent tissues taken from animals which underwent different treatments.
The Authors were unable to provide the original raw data underlying these figures. The Editors therefore no longer have confidence in the results and conclusions reported.
