The above article, published online on 16 October 2016 in Wiley Online Library (https://wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
The retraction has been agreed following an investigation of the concerns raised by Otiophora multicaulis and Pothos tener on PubPeer [1], which identified several instances of overlapping features in multiple figures of the manuscript:-Figure 1c: All images of the MAP-2 immunopositive neurons contain overlapping features.-Figure 2b: The cell cycle analysis graphs of the “Low” and “Medium” groups are unexpectedly similar.
As a result of the investigation, the data and conclusions of this article are considered unreliable.
The authors have been informed of this retraction but did not provide a response.
