The Editor in Chief has retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised about Figs. 4d, 5e, and 6h. These were addressed in a Correction [1]. Later, a new concern arose around the similarity between two GADPH blots in Fig. 2f. The authors provided raw images, which raised further concerns regarding MMP2 blots. Additionally, concerns have been raised regarding the ethics approval documentation provided by the authors. The Editor in Chief, therefore, has lost confidence in the findings of the paper. All authors agree to this retraction.
