Retraction to: Nature Communicationshttps://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-018-06771-4, published online 18 October 2018
The authors have retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding a number of similarities in the images presented in Fig. 6a, as well as highly similar M1 and NU7441 Ki-67 staining images in Fig. 7g. The authors checked the undelying raw data and found that some microscopy files were mislabelled after acquisition, which may have affected the presented results.
The authors have repeated the experiments and intend to submit a revised manuscript for peer review in due course. All authors agree with this retraction.
