Retraction of: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-92906-5, published online 25 June 2021
The Editors have retracted this Article because of concerns regarding the figures presented in this work. An investigation conducted after its publication discovered the following issues:
• The Tublin bands in Figures 2A and 3D appear to overlap partially with each other;
• Panels in rows Control and DEX in Figure 2D appear to overlap partially with each other;
• Panels in row DEX+Heat in Figure 2D and row DEX in Figure 5A appear to overlap partially with each other;
• Panels in columns Control and DEX in Figure 3E appear to overlap partially with each other;
• Panels in columns DEX and Heat + DEX in Figure 3E appear to overlap partially with each other;
• Panels in columns Heat and Heat + Dex in Figure 3E appear to overlap partially with each other.
The data in question represent cells or tissues subject to different experimental conditions. The Editors therefore no longer have confidence in the integrity of the research presented in this Article.
The Authors did not reply to correspondence from the Editors about this retraction.
