Correction to: Journal of Artificial Organs https://doi.org/10.1007/s10047-022-01363-y

In the original publication of the article, the last sentence that reads as “This message is to be transferred to Dr. Takano’s beloved family, his wife (Masako), and two daughters who supported his timeless works” should read as “This message is to be transferred to Dr. Takano’s beloved family, his wife (Masako), and three daughters who supported his timeless works”.

The original article has been corrected.
