Insights

This paper details corrections to figures, including GAPDH, ERK1/2, and RIP1 data, ensuring accurate scientific representation. The revisions do not impact the study's original conclusions.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Cellular Signaling

Context:

  • The original publication contained errors in specific figures.
  • These errors involved mislabeled or incorrect images for key proteins like GAPDH, ERK1/2, and RIP1.

Purpose:

  • To provide corrected figures for accurate data representation.
  • To ensure the integrity of the scientific record.

Summary:

  • Corrections have been made to figures 2A, 2C, 3F, 3J, 5C, and 5F.
  • Specific protein data, including Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), Extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2), and Receptor-interacting protein 1 (RIP1), have been re-presented with accurate images.
  • The errors stemmed from data misfiling during figure preparation.

Impact:

  • The corrections do not alter the fundamental conclusions of the published paper.

Apoptosis01:30

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a combination of two Greek words, 'apo' and 'ptosis,' meaning separation and falling off, respectively. Hippocrates used this word to describe gangrene, which was caused due to bandaging of fractured bones. Apoptosis was distinguished from necrosis in 1970 when John Kerr reported observations of morphological changes occurring during apoptosis. During one experiment, he observed that the disruption of blood supply to the liver tissue resulted in a size...

Distance Corrections01:15

Distance 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...

Power Factor Correction01:20

Power Factor Correction

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.

Eukaryotic Transcription Inhibitors01:52

Eukaryotic Transcription Inhibitors

Certain biochemical processes, such as embryonic development and cell growth regulation, depend on the repression of specific genes. DNA binding proteins known as eukaryotic transcription inhibitors regulate the repression of gene expression in eukaryotes. The presence of these inhibitors at the required location and time in the cell is triggered by the presence of hormones and additional signals from other cells.
Eukaryotic transcription inhibitors usually contain two distinct domains, a...

Zones of Protection01:16

Zones of Protection

In power systems, the entire setup is divided into protective zones to isolate faults and protect the rest of the network. These zones include generators, transformers, buses, transmission lines, distribution lines, and motors. Each zone can be visualized as a separate room in a house, with each room protected by its own circuit breaker.
Protective zones are defined by closed dashed lines, containing one or more components. A key characteristic of these zones is the strategic placement of...

Protection of Alcohols

This lesson delves into the concept of protection and deprotection of a functional group fundamental to synthetic organic chemistry. These phenomena are explained in the context of aliphatic and aromatic alcohols.
Protection
It defines a protecting group as the masking agent to make the more reactive species inert to a given set of conditions. This concept is depicted via the illustration of liquid flow through different outlets in an assembly of pipes. The analogy helps to understand the role...
