The Editors-in-Chief have retracted this article. Following concerns raised by the corresponding author, an investigation by McMaster University confirmed concerns with Figs. 3 and 4 of this article, specifically:

  • Figure 3b: the VDAC band appears to be identical with the Actin band of Fig. 3b of the original article

  • Figure 4d overlaps with Fig. 4b of the original article

The Editors therefore no longer have confidence in the reliability of the data reported in the article.

Prolla have not responded to correspondence about this retraction.
