Retraction of: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/srep03852, published online 24 January 2014
This Article is being retracted by the Editors. An investigation at the Tottori University1 established that Figures 1C, S2H and S2H contain duplicate images of Western blotting data corresponding to different experimental conditions, as well as inappropriate manipulation of these images. The Authors are unable to present original raw data, and therefore the conclusions of the paper cannot be considered reliable.
The Authors do not agree with the retraction.
