Correction to: Deformability of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells Is Dependent on Vimentin Intermediate Filaments

Area of Science:

• Molecular Biology
• Biochemistry

Background:

• Accurate quantification is crucial for reproducible Western blotting.
• Previous reporting contained errors in protein loading concentration and data representation.

Purpose of the Study:

• To correct inaccuracies in the Materials and Methods section regarding protein loading.
• To rectify erroneous data presented in Figure 1b for Western blot semi-quantitation.

Main Methods:

• Correction of protein concentration values used in Western blotting.
• Updating of a specific bar graph (Figure 1b) to reflect accurate semi-quantitation data.

Main Results:

• The protein concentration loaded per sample was corrected from 155 µg to 9.7 µg.
• Figure 1b has been revised to display accurate semi-quantitation values for Western blots.

Conclusions:

• The erratum ensures the integrity and accuracy of the published experimental data.
• Corrected data facilitates reliable interpretation of Western blot results.
