This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy).

This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief.

Concerns were raised in the public domain and also reported by the authors to the journal regarding the similarity between various sections from Figures 1B, 2A, 3A and 4A. Given also the findings of the investigation conducted by the funder, the journal requested the authors to provide the raw data. However, the authors were not able to provide raw data of sufficient quality and detail for the journal to independently audit the provenance and validity of the data, and therefore the Editor-in-Chief decided to retract the article.
