Retraction of: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-18557-2, published online 08 September 2022
The Editors have retracted this Article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding the authenticity of the cell cycle data presented in Figures 6a through 6d and Figures 7a through 7d. Furthermore, Figures 6c and 7c appear to overlap with in Figures 6c and 7c in1, respectively. The Authors provided some of the original data to the Editors, but these were insufficient to address the concerns. The Editors no longer have confidence in the data underlying this Article.
