The authors have retracted this original article [1] because a number of the figures exhibit irregularities.
Specifically:
Figure 1C appears to be comprised of lanes from multiple gels, with only one loading control. Further, the CD44v6 lanes seem to be rotated 180 degrees.
In Figure 3, panels C and F overlap extensively.
In Figure 5B, panels A and B overlap extensively.
In Figure 5C, panels C and D overlap extensively. Also, panel D appears to be rotated 90 degrees.
As these irregularities undermine the conclusions presented, the Editor no longer has confidence in the article.
All authors agree with this retraction.
