We found overlap between some of the transwell assay images used in Figures 5F, 6F, 6H, 7G and data published by other authors at earlier date [1]. We also found that images of wound healing assay presented in Figure 7D, F duplicate images published in unrelated papers [2, 3], and identical images of Western blots in Figure 6K are presented in two unrelated papers [2, 4]. The authors informed Aging that all these issues cannot be resolved and agreed to retract the article. REFERENCES 1. Bian Q.
