Abstract

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). This article has been retracted at the request of Editor-in-Chief. The journal was contacted by a concerned reader about an associated PubPeer post reporting that several panels of Fig. 6e appear duplicated and manipulated, as described here: https://pubpeer.com/publications/A21274781B2C269CC8FA92415ADBB2#1 The authors were contacted with a request for an explanation for these concerns. The corresponding author informed the journal that a mistake occurred due to choosing the wrong representative image for one of the cell lines unintentionally, due to the mix-up of too many images similar to each other, mislabeling of the images, or using some phone cameras for taking images. The Editors assessed the case and decided to retract the article. © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
