Retraction of: Scientific Reports 10.1038/s41598-021-87546-8, published online 14 April 2021
The Editors have retracted this article. After publication, the Editors were informed that several related papers1–3 were being prepared or under consideration elsewhere at the time of submission of this article. Some of the conclusions presented in this article are reported in other articles from the same authors3,4. In addition, there are inconsistencies between Figs. 1A, 2C, 5A and 7C, and the underlying data. The Editors therefore no longer have confidence that the conclusions presented are adequately supported by the data.
None of the authors agree to this retraction.
