The above article, published online on 08 September 2013 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted following the agreement of the journal's Chief Editor, Anshu Agrawal; and John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
The retraction has been agreed following an investigation of the concerns raised by Elizabeth Bik on PubPeer [1], which identified concerns regarding Figures 2a and 6a.
Specifically, similarity has been identified between the features of several panels of Figure 2a with Figure 1c of [2]. In addition, multiple similarities were identified between the features of different panels in Figure 6a.
As a result of the investigation, the data and conclusions of this article are considered unreliable.
The authors had been informed of this retraction but did not provide a response.
