Retraction note to: AMB Express (2020) 10:171
The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this Article.
Following publication, concerns were raised about similarities between the published figures and those in previously published articles. Specifically:
Figure 2 A appears to overlap with Fig. 3A from [1];
Figure 4 A appears to overlap with Fig. 1G F from [5];
Figure 4B appears to overlap with Fig. 6 from [6].
The Editor-in-Chief no longer has confidence in the reliability of the data underlying the findings presented.
None of the authors have responded to any correspondence from the publisher/editor about this retraction.
