Correction to: Journal of Hematology & Oncology (2019) 12:20 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13045-019-0708-7

The Editor in Chief has retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised in relation to overlaps between Figs. 2G and 4G as well as 2G and 4E. Additional investigation by the publisher found further concerns:

  • Further duplicated images have been found in Fig S6D with different data labels;

  • In Fig. S6H an image of mice appears to not interact with the background in Fig. S6H.

Therefore, the Editor in Chief has lost confidence in the integrity of the results. Bin Xiong has stated on behalf of all authors that they disagree to this retraction.
