Retraction of: Scientific Reports 10.1038/srep23100, published online 14 March 2016

The Editors have retracted this Article.

Several of the figures presented in this paper appear to contain duplications that are not compliant with the digital image and standards policy of the journal, specifically:

  • There appears to be partial overlap of the actin panels presented in Figure 2A

  • There appears to be a high level of similarity between the actin bands presented in Figure 3A

  • There appears to be duplication within the panels presented in Figure 3C

  • There appears to be duplication within and between the panels presented in Figure 3D

  • There appears to be duplication of the panels for β-actin in Figure 4C

In addition, the last author has stated they were not able to locate all the original data files. The Editors therefore no longer have confidence in the reliability of the data reported in the Article.

The authors have not responded to correspondence regarding this retraction.
