Resumen

The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article because Fig. 3D appears to contain many similarities with Fig 6 in a previously-published paper by some of the authors [1]; Fig 5 seems to be similar to Fig. 9 in the same article, and there are textual overlaps. Additionally, an investigation by the publisher has found irregularities in authorship and submission process. The Editor-in-Chief has, therefore, lost confdence in the integrity of this article. The authors did not state explicitly whether they agree to this retraction. The online version of this article contains the full text of the retracted article as Supplementary Information. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2024
