The Editors have retracted this article because of concerns regarding the figures presented in this work. These concerns call into question the article's overall scientific soundness. An investigation conducted after its publication discovered the following issues:

  • • Panel E in Figure 2 appears to overlap, when rotated, with Panel I in Figure 5;

  • • Panel F in Figure 2 appears to overlap, when rotated, with Panel H in Figure 3;

  • • Panel G in Figure 2 appears to overlap, when rotated, with Panel K in Figure 5;

  • • Panel J in Figure 2 appears to overlap with Panel B in Figure 3;

  • • Panels J and K in Figure 5 appear to overlap, when rotated and re-scaled, with Panels A and N in Figure 4 in [1].

The panels in question represent tissues taken from animals subject to different experimental conditions. The Editors therefore no longer have confidence in the integrity of the research presented in this article. The authors agree with this retraction.
