Correction to: Stem Cell Rev Rep. 2010 Dec;6(4):622–32
The authors regret to acknowledge that a non-intentional human error related to data handling/labelling during the preparation of the hepatic differentiation images in Fig. 4B resulted in an incorrect figure panel placement such that the CYP1A1 images of two iPS cell lines were derived from the same image. We therefore removed the “CYP1A1” column from Fig. 4B of our manuscript. A replacement to Fig. 4B is included below.
Although we are very disappointed by this error, we would like to emphasize that the main point of this figure (i.e., that these cell lines have potential for hepatic differentiation) was also separately confirmed with expression of AFP, ALB, HNF4α, and CYP3a4 at mRNA level (Fig. 3a and 4a) and ALB and CK18 at protein level (Fig. 4b and c). Their functionality was also confirmed by glycogen and lipid storage activity, secretion of albumin, alpha-fetoprotein, and urea, CYP450 metabolic activity, as well as LDL and indocyanin green uptake (Fig. 5).
The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
