Abstract

Following the publication of this article, the authors noticed that Fig. 5c in the original paper is incorrect due to an error in image handling during the creation of the figure. Specifically, the image for the group P3 BMSCs of time point 21d and the image in the group BMMNCs of time point 14d were incorrect. These linked to the group for BMMNCs of time point 21d, which was also, as a result, incorrect. The correct figure is shown below. The error does not impact the conclusions of the article. The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
