Correction to: Chronic colitis exacerbates NLRP3-dependent neuroinflammation and cognitive impairment in middle-aged brain (Journal of Neuroinflammation, (2021), 18, 1, (153), 10.1186/s12974-021-02199-8)

Abstract

The original version of the article [1] unfortunately contained a mistake IN Figs. 2 and 8. The corresponding author for the manuscript titled by “Chronic colitis exacerbates NLRP3-dependent neuroinflammation and cognitive impairment in middle-aged brain” that was published in your journal, Journal of Neuroinflammation, volume 18, Article number: 153 (2021). After publication of the article, we recently identified after re-reviewing this manuscript that the images from the “NLRP3 KO control” and “NLRP3 KO DSS” in Fig. 2. F showed overlap due to mistaken figure production, and the “LYVE-1” images of “WT Control” and “NLRP3 KO DSS” showed overlap with the “LYVE-1” images of “WT DSS” in Fig. 8 due to mistakenly capturing the image from the “LYVE-1” images of “WT DSS” repetitively, leading to the duplication of the WT DSS images for “WT Control” and “ NLRP3 DSS”. The serious mistake was caused by unintentionally and carelessly mistaking the “WT Control” or “NLRP3 DSS” instead of “WT DSS” during image capturing. In fact, the careless mistakes do not affect the findings or conclusions of the article. To effectively modify this issue, and prevent further misunderstanding with regard to this mistake accordingly, we would appreciate it if it would be possible to request erratum for this mistake and we have attached the corrected figures. If permitted, we would like to re-perform the relevant experiments to confirm the accurate and repeatability regarding the effect of NLRP3 inflammasome on the of colits-induced neuroinflammation. Really apologize for any inconvenience that our careless mistake may have caused.
