Retraction to: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-59900-z, published online 22 April 2024


The Editors have retracted this Article.


Fig. 13 appears to be very similar to Fig. 9 in a previously-published article by different authors1. The Authors stated that they used the same laboratory; the laboratory, however, did not confirm this. The Editors no longer have confidence in the veracity of the data presented in this Article.


S. Senthilkumar disagrees with the retraction. K. Krishnaram, T. Suresh Padmanabhan, and Faisal Alsaif did not respond to correspondence from the Editors regarding this retraction.
