The Editors-in-Chief have retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding highly similar images between this article and a number of other articles that were submitted and published within a close time frame [1,2,3,4,5].

The authors have stated that the image duplication occurred due to the use of a shared platform, and that the original data could not be retrieved. Due to the number and severity of the duplications, the Editors-in-Chief no longer have confidence in the presented data.

All authors agree to this retraction.
