Erratum to changes in the hepatic differentiation potential of human mesenchymal stem cells aged in vitro

Erratum to: Ann Transl Med 2021;9:1628

This article (1) titled “Changes in the hepatic differentiation potential of human mesenchymal stem cells aged in vitro” (doi: 10.21037/atm-21-4918), unfortunately contains an error in Figure 3. Mistake was found in the use of Passage 5 and Passage 6 of Figure 3A. The corrected Figure 3 is presented below. The replaced pictures are original experimental data. Meanwhile, the change of these pictures has no influence on the analysis of the results and conclusion in this paper.

Figure 3 Undifferentiated hUC-MSCs with certain liver functions. (A) Glycogen storage analysis via PAS staining in undifferentiated hUC-MSCs. (B) Analysis of LDL uptake ability. (C) ICG uptake analysis. Scale bar =100 µM. hUC-MSCs, human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells; PAS, periodic acid-Schiff; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; ICG, indocyanine green.

The authors apologize for the oversight.
