This article (1) has been retracted at the request of the editors. Following an institutional review, it was determined that the same image was used to represent zerumbone (day 0) and zerumbone (after day 3) in Fig. 4A. In addition, a second image from a previously published article (2) was used to represent zerumbone (after day 1) in Fig. 4A. The original research records related to the figures were not available during the review. Therefore, the institution was not able to determine which of the published images were correct.
