The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding potential issues with the figures published in this article. Specifically:
The western blot images in Fig. 3dc and e appear to contain breaks in the backgrounds;
Figures 4a and 5a appear to overlap with Figs. 2a and 6a, respectively, in the authors' earlier article [1].
The authors have explained that the western blot images were edited to improve their appearance, and that the images in Figs. 4a and 5a are incorrect. The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the presented data.
Zhongxing Liang and Hyunsuk Shim agree to this retraction. The Publisher has not been able to obtain a current email address for Xuehai Bian.
