The Editorial Office and the authors have taken the decision to retract the published article [1]. The Western blot data shown in Figures 6a and 6c are unacceptably similar, in particular the backgrounds show identical features. The published paper [1] will therefore be marked as retracted.
MDPI is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics and takes seriously its responsibility to publish only high-quality research. We regret that this issue was not identified earlier and apologize to readers of the journal.
