Abstract

The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding the images in Figs. 3 and 5. Specifically, Fig. 3 panels A and B appear highly similar to Fig. 2 panels G and H in the authors' earlier article (Hedayatpour et al. 2013), with rotation and contrast adjustment. The authors have stated that the image reuse occurred because they used the same control groups for both experiments. They have been unable to provide the raw data for validation due to the old age of the article. The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the presented data. Iraj Ragerdi Kashani, Zahra Rajabi, Gholamreza Hassanzadeh, Alireza Mohseni, Cordian Beyer and Adib Zendedel have not responded to any further correspondence from the editor or publisher about this retraction notice. The Publisher has not been able to obtain current email addresses for Mohammad Akbari, Mohammadtaha Kouchakinejad Eramsadati, Kheirollah Rafiee and Markus Kipp. © 2023, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.
