Abstract

Highlights

The bands in lanes one, two, four, seven and eight in the HCT116 β-actin panel of Fig. 6B appear similar to the bands in lanes one, two, four, seven and eight in the actin panel of Fig. 7B
In response to queries about these figures, the corresponding author acknowledged the similarities in some bands in the β-actin loading controls in Figs. 6B and 7B but noted that there are differences and that in their view it is unlikely that the two panels were generated from the same blot
The corresponding author stated that there was a mistake in assembly of Fig. 8, and the β-actin loading control in Fig. 8C is incorrect, but a replacement image of the correct loading control is not available

Summary

Introduction
