Retraction Note to: Histochem Cell Biol (2014) 142:497–509 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00418-014-1233-y


The Editor-in-Chief has retracted the article by Han et al. (2014) because Fig. 3a–d are also published as Fig. 5b–e in Liu et al. (2012), and Fig. 3a, c, d are also published as Fig. 5a, d, e in Guo et al. (2014). The data reported in this article are therefore unreliable.


Feng-Jin Guo disagrees with this retraction. The other authors have not responded to any correspondence regarding this retraction.
