Summary
A correction was issued for Fig. 6c in a published paper. The corrected image now accurately displays afatinib treatment effects on neoplastic organoids, with no impact on study conclusions.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Cell Biology
Context:
- A previous publication contained an incorrect image in Fig. 6c.
- The erroneous image depicted a GBM-2 control instead of a GBM-3 neoplastic organoid before afatinib treatment.
Purpose:
- To correct an image error in a previously published scientific article.
- To ensure accurate representation of experimental conditions and results.
Summary:
- The
- before, afatinib
- panel in Fig. 6c has been rectified to display a representative image of a GBM-3 neoplastic organoid prior to afatinib administration.
- Error bars in Fig. 6 were standardized to black for improved consistency.
- Statistical analyses and overall conclusions remain unaltered by this correction.
Impact:
- Ensures the integrity and accuracy of the published scientific record.
- Provides researchers with correct visual data for understanding afatinib's effects on neoplastic organoids.
- Maintains confidence in the study's findings and conclusions.

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.”

01:15Distance Corrections

To achieve precise distance measurements, especially in surveying and construction, certain corrections must be applied to account for potential sources of error like the standardization errors, temperature variations, and slope adjustments.Standardization error emerges when measurement equipment undergoes changes, such as wear, repairs, or weather impacts. To address this, surveyors compare the equipment’s readings to a standard. This process identifies any deviation that might lead to...

The power transmission to a factory involves the transfer of apparent power, a combination of active and reactive power. The power factor measures how effectively electrical power is converted into useful work output. The ratio of the real power (KW) that does the work to the apparent power (KVA) supplied to the circuit.

01:13Functional Brain Systems: Reticular Formation
5.0K
The reticular formation is a complex network of gray and white matter located within the brainstem extending from the medulla to the midbrain.
Within the reticular formation, there are several distinct nuclei that can be classified into three broad categories. The Raphe nuclei are located along the midline of the brainstem. They are primarily known for their role in synthesizing and releasing serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in regulating mood, appetite, sleep, and circadian rhythms. The...
