The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. After publication concerns were raised with respect to the overlap of figures with a previously published article from another author group [1]. Specifically:

  • Figure 2 with Figure 2 of [1]

  • Figure 3b and 3c with Figure 3b and 3d of [1]

  • Figure 4b, 4c and 4d with Figure 4b, 4c and 4d of [1]

  • Figure 5 with Figure 5 of [1]

  • Figure 6 with Figure 6 of [1]

  • Figure 7 with Figure 7 of [1]
