The editor has retracted this article [1]. Concerns were raised regarding a number of figures, specifically:

  • Figure 2: the FZD1 blots in panels e (Rutin experiment) and f (Epicatechin experiment) appear to be identical.

  • Figure 4b and c appear to be identical.

  • Figure 4d and f appear to be very similar.

  • Figure 4i and l appear to be very similar.

The data reported in this article are therefore unreliable.

M. Ganesan, N. Rajendra Prasad, D. Ananthakrishan and D. Velmurugan agree with this retraction. S. Mohana has not responded to correspondence regarding this retraction.
