Insights
This corrigendum corrects an error in Fig. 4A of a previous study. The CD151-ARSA/48h data was misplaced but did not affect the study's conclusions.
Area of Science:
- Molecular Biology
- Cellular Biology
Context:
- A previous publication in Molecular Medicine Reports contained a figure error.
- Specific data panels in Fig. 4A were found to be overlapping, suggesting incorrect data sourcing.
Purpose:
- To correct a data presentation error in Fig. 4A.
- To provide the accurate representation of experimental results for CD151-ARSA/48h.
Summary:
- A reader identified a data overlap issue in Fig. 4A (p. 839) concerning CD151/24h and CD151-ARSA/48h.
- Authors re-examined data and confirmed incorrect placement of the CD151-ARSA/48h panel.
- A revised Fig. 4 is presented with the corrected data, ensuring accurate experimental representation.
Impact:
- The error did not impact the original study's results or conclusions.
- Ensures data integrity and accurate reporting for future reference.
- Maintains scientific accuracy and reader trust in published research.
Abstract:
Subsequently to the publication of the above paper, an interested reader drew to the authors' attention that, in Fig. 4A on p. 839, the 'CD151/24 h' and 'CD151‑ARSA/48 h' panels appeared to contain overlapping sections of data, such that they were potentially derived from the same original source, where these panels were intended to show the results from differently performed experiments. The authors have re‑examined their original data, and realize that the 'CD151‑ARSA/48 h' panel was inadvertently placed incorrectly in the figure. The revised version of Fig. 4, now containing the correct data for the 'CD151‑ARSA/48 h' experiment in Fig. 4A, is shown below. Note that this error did not adversely affect either the results or the overall conclusions reported in this study. All the authors agree with the publication of this corrigendum, and are grateful to the Editor of Molecular Medicine Reports for allowing them the opportunity to publish this. They also wish to apologize to the readership of the Journal for any inconvenience caused. [Molecular Medicine Reports 7: 836‑842, 2013; DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2012.1250].
