The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. The authors of this article subsequently contacted the journal to request to replace components of Figs. 1B, 6E, 6H and 7A. Further investigation raised concerns regarding the provenance of the replacement figures and the rationale behind the need to replace these figures. The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the reliability of the data reported in this article.

Author Yong-lan Wang has stated that all authors disagree with this retraction.
