Retraction Note to: Cell Stress and Chaperones (2019)24:259–272
10.1007/s12192-018-00963-z
The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article (Wei et al. 2019) because of significant text overlap and similarity of figures with an article published earlier (Geng et al. 2020). It appears that parts of Fig. 5f are similar to Fig. 4 h in the earlier article. The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the integrity of the data in this article.
The authors did not respond to any correspondence from the editor or publisher about this retraction.
