Abstract:
Subsequently to the publication of this article, the authors have realized that Fig. 2D contained a duplication error, which arose during the assembly of the figures; specifically, the upper-left panel in Fig. 2D, showing the results of the MG‑63/pcDNA3.1 Transwell assay experiment, were inadvertently repeated in Fig. 5E. The corrected version of Fig. 2, showing the correct data for Fig. 2D, is shown on the next page.
The authors wish to emphasize that this correction does not change either the interpretation or the original conclusions of their study. The authors are grateful to the Editor of International Journal of Molecular Medicine for granting them the opportunity to publish this corrigendum, and all the authors agree with the correction. Furthermore, the authors apologize to the Editor of International Journal of Molecular Medicine and to readership for any inconvenience caused. [the original article was published in International Journal of Molecular Medicine 46: 1311-1320, 2020; DOI: 10.3892/ijmm.2020.4684].
Insights
A figure error in a study on MG-63 cells and Transwell assays was corrected. This correction does not alter the study's original findings or conclusions regarding molecular medicine research.
Area of Science:
- Molecular Biology
- Cell Biology
- Biomedical Research
Background:
- A previously published study in the International Journal of Molecular Medicine contained a figure error.
- Specifically, a panel from a Transwell assay experiment was duplicated in error.
Purpose of the Study:
- To correct a figure error in a published study.
- To ensure accurate data representation without altering original conclusions.
Main Methods:
- The error involved the duplication of a panel from the MG-63/pcDNA3.1 Transwell assay results.
- A corrected version of the figure has been prepared and is provided.
Main Results:
- The correction involves replacing the duplicated panel with the accurate data for Fig. 2D.
- The authors confirm that this correction does not impact the interpretation or conclusions of the original study.
Conclusions:
- The study's original conclusions remain valid despite the figure error.
- Accurate data representation is crucial for the integrity of scientific publications.

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
