<p>The journal retracts the 11 January 2021 article cited above.</p>
<p>Following publication, concerns were raised regarding the integrity of the images in the published figures. Images presented in this article were subsequently also identified in publications from unrelated author groups. Following consultation with the authors during the investigation, which was conducted in accordance with Frontiers&#x2019; policies, we have also been unable to confirm authorship by all named authors. As a result, the data and conclusions of the article have been deemed unreliable and the article has been retracted.</p>
