Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the Editorial Office regarding image inconsistencies within this study [1].
Adhering to our complaints procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and the Editorial Board which confirmed the presence of repeated visual features within Figure 1. While the authors collaborated with the Editorial Office during the investigation, they were unable to satisfactorily explain the overlapping visual features, and the Editorial Board could not confirm the validity of the images from the raw material provided. As a result, the Editorial Board has lost confidence in the validity of the findings and decided to retract this publication [1], as per MDPI’s retraction policy (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics#_bookmark30).
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the Molecules journal.
The authors did not agree to this retraction.
