The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article [1] because a number of lanes in Figs. 3, 4 and 6 of this article are duplicated. Specifically:

• In Fig. 3 all three NF lanes appear to be the same, and the first F lane and the third, fourth and fifth F lanes appear to be the same.

• In Fig. 4a the first two NF lanes and fourth NF lane appear to be the same. The last two F lanes also appear to be the same.

• In Fig. 4b there is similarity between the fourth NF lane and the third F lane. The first two F lanes and last 2 F lanes appear to be the same.

• In Fig. 4c all lanes for the control (GADPH) appear to be the same.

• In Fig. 6, for the the HMG-14 probe, the third and fourth NF lanes appear to be the same and the first four F lanes appear to be the same. The internal loading control GAPDH probe appears to be the same for all lanes.

The data are therefore unreliable. Both authors disagree with this retraction.
