This article has been retracted: Aging has completed its investigation of this paper. We found multiple internal duplications and overlap between some of the transwell assay images used for Figures 3C,E and 5C,D,F and data published the preceding year by other authors [1]. The authors reply that “There are some irreproducible data (Figure 2 and 3) in our manuscript.” An institutional investigation has concluded that the figures are unreliable and that much of the additional data in the paper cannot be reliably verified from records. Together, these issues decrease confidence in the integrity of the experimental findings reported. Consequently, all authors agreed that the article should be retracted. The authors sincerely apologize to the scientific community for any confusion and any unintended harm derived from the publication of this paper.
