Correction to: NFATc2 is an intrinsic regulator of melanoma dedifferentiation

Area of Science:

• Molecular Biology
• Cell Biology
• Cancer Research

Context:

• The study involves the analysis of protein expression and modulation.
• Specific proteins investigated include Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF), Melanoma Antigen Recognized by T-cells 1 (MART-1), and beta-actin (β-actin).
• The research utilizes Western blot techniques to assess protein levels.

Purpose:

• To correct erroneous Western blot images presented in a previous figure (Fig. 6e).
• To ensure accurate representation of MITF, MART-1, and β-actin expression data.
• To maintain the integrity and reproducibility of the research findings.

Summary:

• Errors were identified in the Western blot images for MITF, MART-1, and β-actin in Fig. 6e.
• These incorrect blots were due to similarity with images from a different figure (Fig. 5c).
• Corrected blots have been provided in a revised figure within an associated Correction notice.

Impact:

• The correction of these blots does not alter the interpretation of the results presented in Fig. 6e.
• The overall conclusions of the research paper remain unchanged.
• This ensures the scientific accuracy and reliability of the published findings despite the initial error.
