Following the publication of the above article, a concerned reader drew to the authors' attention that, regarding the western blot data shown in Fig. 1, the Col-I protein bands were strikingly similar to the bands that were featured in the third and fourth lanes of Fig. 5G to represent the α-SMA data. In addition, the protein bands shown for the Col-I and α-SMA experiments in the first and second lanes of the respective gels in Fig. 5G also appeared to be strikingly similar.
