Abstract

The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding high similarity among multiple panels in Figs. 9-12. Further checks by the publisher have found irregularities in the western blot backgrounds in Fig. 14. The authors have been able to provide alternative data, but not the original full gel images of the blots presented in Fig. 14. The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the presented data. Bahran Imam, Masoumeh Rahmatinia, Abbas Shahsavani, Fariba Khodagholi, Philip K. Hopke, Shahriyar Bazazzpour, Mostafa Hadei, Maryam Yarahmadi, Mohammad-Amin Abdollahifar, Mehdi Amouei Torkmahalleh and Majid Kermani do not agree to this retraction. The publisher has not been able to obtain current email addresses for Saba Ilkhani and Seyed Hamidreza MirBehbahani. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2024.
