Abstract

The Editors-in-Chief have retracted this article because the authors were unable to provide confirmation that they received approval from an appropriate ethics committee prior to the collection of the blood samples used in this research. Concerns have also been raised that the well images in Figs. 4 and 6 contained in this publication were previously published in previous articles with common authors [1, 2], where they are described differently. The Editors-in-Chief therefore no longer have confidence in the reliability of the findings and conclusions of this article. Ali Maleki disagrees with this retraction. The Publisher was not able to confirm a current contact email for Reza Ahangari Cohan. The remaining authors did not respond to correspondence from the Publisher about this retraction. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2024.
