The Editors of the Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research (BJMBR) became aware of a denouncement published by independent journalists from the “For Better Science” website including this paper. This denouncement consisted of potential data falsification and/or inaccuracy of results in western blots and flow cytometry plots.
After contacting the Authors and per consensus between the Editors-in-Chief of the BJMBR and the Authors, this article has been retracted.
