Conclusion
The erratum corrects an image overlap error in the original publication regarding the expression of Piezo1 in macrophages in liver fibrosis.
Supporting Evidence
- The original paper contained an error in partially overlapping images.
- The correct figure shows the expression of Piezo1 in macrophages in fibrotic livers.
- Data are presented as mean ± S. E. M.
- Human samples included various liver conditions.
- Mice samples were used to study the effects of Piezo1 deletion.
Takeaway
The study found that a specific deletion in macrophages can help protect against liver fibrosis in mice, but there was a mistake in the images presented.
Limitations
The original paper contained an error in image representation.
Participant Demographics
