Abstract

Retraction of: Scientific Reportshttps://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-62429-6, published online 03 April 2020 The Editors have retracted this Article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding the two-dimensional contour density plots of 4T1 cells in Figure 4A. Specifically, the plots 2 and 5 appear highly similar to each other. The Authors were unable to provide the original raw data to address the concerns. The Editors therefore no longer have confidence in the reliability of the results and conclusions presented. Authors did not respond to correspondence from the Editors about this retraction.
