We, the named authors, hereby wholly retract this Nanoscale article due to errors in the labelling and filing of the data, which has led to ambiguity over the correct data for each figure.
In Fig. 1a, there is overlap between the 1h control panel and the 1h GSH-AgNCs panel.
In Fig. 5, there is overlap between the H&E 200× control panel and the H&E 200× GSH-AgNCs panel, and between the H&E 200× DHLA-AgNCs panel and the H&E 200× DHLA-AuNCs panel.
In Fig. S12, there is overlap between all of the panels for the control and the DHLA-AgNCs.
The original data is available, but the order and naming of figures are not reliable. Since the other figures still support the conclusion, the data related to Fig. 1a, 5, and Fig. S12 will be redone and verified multiple times.
