Summary
A scientific article has corrected an error in Fig. 2g, replacing a duplicated image with the accurate depiction of skin inflammation induced by the NALP3 agonist imiquimod (IMQ). This ensures accurate data presentation for the study on imiquimod-induced skin inflammation.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology and immunology research.
Background:
- Accurate data visualization is crucial for scientific integrity.
- Previous versions of the article contained an image duplication error in Fig. 2g.
Purpose of the Study:
- To correct an inadvertent image duplication in Fig. 2g.
- To provide the accurate representation of skin inflammation induced by imiquimod (IMQ).
Main Methods:
- Image analysis and correction within the digital publication.
- Updating the figure to display the correct experimental outcome.
Main Results:
- Fig. 2g has been corrected online to show the appropriate 'D30 IMQ' image.
- The corrected image accurately illustrates skin inflammation induced by the NALP3 agonist imiquimod.
Conclusions:
- The correction ensures the fidelity of the presented data.
- Transparency regarding the amendment is provided in the Supplementary Information.

02:20Milgram's Obedience to Authority
7.4K
Obedience to authority is classically demonstrated in a more famous series of social psychology experiments performed by Stanley Milgram. He was a social psychology professor at Yale who was influenced by the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi war criminal. Eichmann’s defense for the atrocities he committed was that he was “just following orders.”

01:24Inflammatory Response II: Inflammatory Exudate and Tissue Repair
7.9K
The immune system's inflammatory response destroys the invading pathogen, permitting the tissue to heal. The changes during the cellular and vascular stages allow exudate formation at the site of inflammation. The inflammatory exudate released from the wound has high protein content and a specific gravity above 1.020.
The typical wound exudate is odorless, transparent, straw-colored, thin, and watery. Exudate, however, can differ depending on the state of wound healing. Likewise, the...

01:12Renewal of Skin Epidermal Stem Cells
3.1K
The skin is divided into epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, the skin's outermost, middle, and inner layers. The human epidermal layer regularly undergoes renewal, where old, dead cells are replaced by new cells. Epidermal stem cells or EpiSCs divide and differentiate to restore the lost cells. For the renewal process, some EpiSCs continuously self-renew. In contrast, few others differentiate into transit-amplifying cells, which later form prickle or spinous cells, followed by granular...

01:13Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
28.1K
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide and produce different types of cells. Ordinarily, cells that have differentiated into a specific cell type are post-mitotic—that is, they no longer divide. However, scientists have found a way to reprogram these mature cells so that they “de-differentiate” and return to an unspecialized, proliferative state. These cells are also pluripotent like embryonic stem cells—able to produce all cell types—and are therefore...

01:23Tissue Renewal without Stem Cells
2.1K
After cellular or tissue damage, the resident stem cells present in the human body can locally repair and regenerate the damaged tissue or organ. However, even though some tissues do not have stem cells, they can repair and regenerate with the help of pre-existing cells. For example, beta cells of the pancreas and hepatocytes of the liver can divide to renew and regenerate the tissue. Here, both cell division and cell death are well regulated by homeostasis.

01:23Epithelial Tissues and Their Functions
41.0K
Epithelial tissues are large sheets of cells covering all of the surfaces of the body. These surfaces can be internal or external, for example, skin, airways, the digestive tract, the urinary system, and the reproductive system. Hollow organs and body cavities that do not connect to the body's exterior, including blood vessels and serous membranes, are lined by epithelial tissue known as the endothelium.
