This article (1) has been retracted at the request of the editors. Following an institutional review by Wayne State University (Detroit, MI), the primary affiliation for several of the authors, it was determined that an image of the same field of cells is used to represent the results of two different drug treatments in Fig. 2B. The institutional review determined that these panels were intentionally selected and inappropriately repurposed to support the hypothesized result. As a result of these findings, the institution recommended retraction and, upon internal review, the editors agree with this recommendation.
A copy of this Retraction Notice was sent to the last known email addresses for three of the four authors. Three authors (S. Banerjee, Z. Wang, and F.H. Sarkar) did not respond; the remaining author (D. Kong) could not be located.
