The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article [1] because some of the images appear to be identical with those in another study [2] in a different species: specifically, the Los Angeles strain and Control panels in Figure 6 [1] appear to be identical with the BL1-A 5h panel in Figure 4 [2] and the Bax 4-5h panel in Figure 3 [2], respectively. The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the validity of the data and the conclusions drawn.

Helena Ferreira agrees with this retraction. Tereza Cardoso, Roberto Gameiro and Eduardo Flores disagree with this retraction. Lucas Okamura, Bruna Oliveira and Ana Rosa did not respond to correspondence regarding this retraction.
