Following publication, the authors reached out to inform the journal in 2023 that they could not verify the data within the article. They stated that some of the experiments within the article were assisted by a third party and that the reported results could no longer be relied upon. The use of a third party to perform experiments was not disclosed within the article.
As we cannot verify the validity of the published work or that it complied with our editorial policies, we are therefore retracting the article. The authors listed in this publication have been informed.
We have been informed in our decision-making by our editorial policies and the COPE guidelines.
