( 2020 ): 8887 – 8901 . https://doi.org/10.1096/fj.202000274R . The above article, published online on 7 June 2020, in Wiley Online Library ( wileyonlinelibrary.com ), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor‐in‐Chief, Dr. Loren E. Wold, the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, and Wiley Periodicals LLC. The authors contacted the journal and requested correction of their article due to incorrect data. Further investigation of the article by the publisher found additional data irregularities. Additionally, repeated attempts to validate the provenance and authenticity of the data raised concerns that contemporaneous data to the original paper were not being provided. Concerns remain regarding the veracity of the data expressed in Figures 4A, 5B, 6A, 6E, 6F, and 7A. The retraction has been agreed to because of the evidence of image duplication throughout the paper, each of which describes different experimental conditions, fundamentally compromises the editors' confidence in the conclusions presented. The authors were informed of the retraction.
