The authors have retracted this original article [1] because a number of the figures exhibit irregularities.

Specifically:

  • Figure 1C appears to be comprised of lanes from multiple gels, with only one loading control. Further, the CD44v6 lanes seem to be rotated 180 degrees.

  • In Figure 3, panels C and F overlap extensively.

  • In Figure 5B, panels A and B overlap extensively.

  • In Figure 5C, panels C and D overlap extensively. Also, panel D appears to be rotated 90 degrees.

As these irregularities undermine the conclusions presented, the Editor no longer has confidence in the article.

All authors agree with this retraction.
