Abstract

The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding image overlap in the figures. Specifically: Figures 3 and 4 are identical—this has been confirmed by the Publisher to be a proofing error. Figure 6b–i appear to share a number of highly similar areas, and some features within the images appear to be duplicated. Figures 3 and 4 are identical—this has been confirmed by the Publisher to be a proofing error. Figure 6b–i appear to share a number of highly similar areas, and some features within the images appear to be duplicated. The authors have provided the correct data for Fig. 4, but have been unable to explain the similarities in Fig. 6. The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the presented data. Neeraj Choudhary, Shvetank Bhatt and Ashish Suttee do not agree to this retraction. None of the other authors have responded to any correspondence from the publisher about this retraction.
