Following the publication of the above article, the Editor was notified by a concerned reader that the authors supplied duplicated images. Specifically, overlap in Figs. 1C, 4A, 4B, 4D, and 5C. These concerns were also reported at PubPeer https://pubpeer.com/publications/CAC11E726E1C3E261A1F8BB90FF173. After review, the Editor found that duplication did occur and therefore the decision was made to retract the article.
