This article has been retracted at the request of the Editors-in-Chief.

This article has been retracted following an investigation prompted by comments on PubPeer (PubPeer - Remote transplantation of human adipose-derived stem cells i …). The review identified multiple image issues, including overlaps between different conditions in Figure 1, duplication of panels between this paper and a previously published article in the Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/jcmm.15403), and duplication of Western blots with another publication. Due to these concerns and the lack of a satisfactory response by the authors, the Editors-in-Chief have lost confidence in the integrity of this article's data and have decided to retract it.

The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
