Abstract

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy).This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief.Following concerns raised by an anonymous reader regarding possible image manipulation in Figure 3, the journal conducted a thorough investigation. The corresponding author, Dr. Hosseini, acknowledged the image in question was manipulated in error and requested a corrigendum and a revised figure be submitted for consideration. After careful consideration and consultation with the board, the Editor-in-Chief determined that the explanation did not satisfactorily address the concerns presented and a retraction is warranted.The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
