The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. Concerns have been raised about Fig. 3a, specifically:

  • The 0h control panels for U87 and U251 appear to be identical

  • The 0h NF 25µM panels for U87 and NF 25µM appear to be identical

  • The 0h NF 30 µM panels for U87 and U251 appear to partially overlap

  • The 24h control panels for U87 and U251 appear to be identical

  • The 24h NF 25 µM panels for U87 and U251 appear to partially overlap

  • The 24h NF 30 µM panels for U87 and U251 appear to partially overlap

  • The 48h control panels for U87 and U251 appear to partially overlap

  • The 48 NF 25 µM panels for U87 and U251 appear to be identical

The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer have confidence in the results and conclusions of this article.
