Abstract

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy).

Image analysis performed by the editorial office confirmed findings of image duplication in Figures 1B, 4, and 8A. This reuse (and in part misrepresentation) of data without appropriate attribution represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system. No authors responded when contacted about the retraction.
