The Editor has retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding highly similar images within the article. Specifically:
• Fig. 1, Thymus (1000) and Fig. 2 Thymus (1000) appear to be highly similar.
• Fig. 1, Brain (1000) and Fig. 2 Brain (1000) appear to be highly similar.
• Fig. 4A, CMC-AL (medium dose) and CMC-AL (low dose) appear to partially overlap.
The authors have stated that the images were included by error but were unable to provide a sufficient response to the concerns raised, nor verifiable original images. Therefore, the Editor no longer has confidence in the presented data.
Tullayakorn Plengsuriyakarn, Kanawut Kotawong and Kesara Na-Bangchang disagree with this retraction.
