Abstract

The above article, published online 15 Feb 2020 on Wiley Online Library (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ijc.32911), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor-in-Chief (Prof. Christoph Plass), the authors, and Wiley Periodicals LLC. The retraction has been agreed following an investigation that began with a third party allegation of inappropriate image duplication in Figure 3b and 3h. After requesting original data from the authors also for the Western Blot figures in the entire manuscript, a detailed analysis revealed additional irregularities in the original data. As the concerns relate to several figure panels, the editors no longer have confidence in the data reported in this article.
