Retraction of: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-83738-4, published online 18 February 2021
The Editors have retracted the Article.
After publication, concerns were brought to the attention of Editors about the published figures, and included apparent image duplication and rotation in Figure 5. The Authors provided alternative images but the dates on which the images were generated did not match the descriptions in the Article. The Editors have therefore lost confidence in the results and conclusions of this Article.
The Authors did not respond to correspondence from the Publisher about this retraction.
