Retraction of: Scientific Reports 10.1038/s41598-022-10212-0, published online 13 April 2022
Editors have retracted this Article.
After publication of this Article, concerns about the data were brought to the attention of the Editors. Specifically:
The image panels in Figs. 7c and 7d appear to overlap. These panels also appear to overlap with images published in an earlier paper with common authors [1], where they were described differently.
The well images included in Fig. 8 appear to duplicate images published in an earlier paper with common authors [2], where they are described differently.
The Editors requested that the Authors provide full raw data and copies of their ethics approval and protocol for the use of blood samples drawn from a human donor, but the Authors were not able to do so. The Editors no longer have confidence in the reliability of the results and findings presented in this Article.
Hamid Madanchi disagrees with this retraction. The Editors were not able to obtain a current contact email for Farkhondeh Alimirzaloo. The remaining authors did not respond to correspondence from the Editors regarding this retraction.
