Abstract

The Editors-in-Chief have retracted this article after concerns were raised about the data reported in Fig. 2. Specifically: The C image panels of CCH & CCH + vehicle appear to overlap. The D image panels of CCH & CCH + vehicle appear to overlap. The D image panel of CCH + vehicle appears to have been published in a previous paper with common authors (Mortezaee et al. 2016), where it is described differently. The C image panels of CCH & CCH + vehicle appear to overlap. The D image panels of CCH & CCH + vehicle appear to overlap. The D image panel of CCH + vehicle appears to have been published in a previous paper with common authors (Mortezaee et al. 2016), where it is described differently.
