Abstract

Following publication of this article [1], concerns were raised regarding a region of similarity between the immunofluorescence images in Fig 2B and 2C that are reported to show nerve fibers in matrigel implants containing mASCs cultured under differing conditions. The image used in Fig2B is incorrect. Here the authors provide a revised Fig 2 using alternative images representing the experimental conditions in panels B and C. These alternative images were acquired during the same original experiment. The nerve fiber density and length data reported in Fig 2F and 2G were recorded from counts of 6 frozen sections from each Matrigel implant; after the data were collected, representative images were selected that reflected the data, and the error in image selection does not affect the data shown in the charts. The revised Fig 2 is included here.
