Abstract: Following publication, concerns regarding Figure 3C were brought to the attention of the Editors. Six of the eight western blots presented in Figure 3C appear to be highly similar to an earlier publication of the authors 1 where the experimental treatments described for the samples are different. The sample lanes of another blot are also fewer than expected. An institutional investigation by the University of Dundee did not find any laboratory records for the experiment Figure 3C is said to illustrate. The Editors therefore no longer have confidence in the reliability of this Article.
