Correction: In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology - Animal
There are 7 instances of incorrect figures, including the previously discovered 3 misuse in the article:
(1) Previous discovered Error 1: The "MC-MEF" in the top left corner of the original Figure 1 B, as shown in the figure below, marked by the red circle in the image, does not accurately represent the actual density of MEFs treated with mitomycin C during the experiment, showing a lower density than the real MEF density.
Figure 1The alteration of feerder layers leads to the change of the pluripotent state of bESCs.
We are now requesting to correct the figure to the following:
Figure 1The alteration of feerder layers leads to the change of the pluripotent state of bESCs.
The corrected and publishable high-resolution TIFF image is attached in email attachment 1, labeled as " Fig.1-Correction".
(2) Previous discovered Errors 2 and 3: The embryoid body images in the lower right corners of the original Figures 7 B and C, respectively, marked by the red circles in the images, do not accurately represent the morphology and density characteristics of the embryoid bodies formed by MC-F7-P6 and 1/7MC-F7-P6 during the differentiation experiments. In fact, the number of embryoid bodies formed by 1/7MC-F7-P6 during the differentiation experiment was significantly reduced compared to MC-F7-P6.

(3) Latest found errors 4 and 7: All of the immunofluorescence photographs in panels B, C, D, and E of Figure 7 are incorrectly used, as they do not represent the differentiation state of the cells corresponding to the generations recounted
We are now requesting to correct the figure to the following image:
Figure 7Detection of differentiation ability of bESCs.
The corrected and publishable high-resolution TIFF image is attached in the email, labeled as "Fig.7- Correction ".
These seven instances of incorrect figure usage were due to oversights during the image editing process; however, these flaws do not affect the reliability of the conclusion of this study.
Here is the opinion collection form. It was filled out by all authors after careful consideration.
