Following publication of the original article [1], the authors identified an error in the caption of Fig. 2 and the in-text citation of Fig. 2. The error was that the descriptions for panel b and c were swapped.

Fig. 2
figure 2

Expression of differentiation markers in hASC, IPC and GPC by indirect immunofluorescence. The images shown are representative of n = 3 experiments, visualized by confocal microscopy. Nuclear staining was performed with Hoechst 1: 500 (blue). Markers analyzed were Pdx1 (red), Ngn3 (green), Insulin (green), Glucagon (red), CD44 (green) and Vimentin (green). a Markers analyzed in hASC. b Markers analyzed in GPC. c Markers analyzed in IPC. Scale bar = 20 μm. Pdx1 pancreatic and duodenal homeobox 1, Ngn3 neurogenin 3, Ins insulin, Gcg glucagon, Vim vimentin

Caption, page 5

  • It currently reads “b Markers analyzed in IPC. c Markers analyzed in GPC.”

  • It should read “b Markers analyzed in GPC. c Markers analyzed in IPC.”

In-text citation, results section, page 5

  • It currently reads: “Moreover, IPC expressed insulin, which was not evident in hASC (Fig. 2b)”.

  • It should read “Moreover, IPC expressed insulin, which was not evident in hASC (Fig. 2c)”.

The figure with updated caption is published in this correction article.
