Following publication of the original article [1], it is reported that there were errors in Fig. 1d, 1g, 2a, 3a, 4b and 4f, which resulted from an inadvertent discrepancy between source images and figure labels that occurred during file preparation, leading to non-corresponding visual data in the published version.
In Fig. 1d, the two images in 72h kidney control and 72h kidney LPS were incorrect and from another experimental replicate of 24h kidney control. These two images require correction. In Fig. 1g, 72h heart LPS image was incorrectly formed from 24h heart LPS image, and thus needs to be corrected.
In Fig. 2a, 24h Sham image was incorrect and belonged to 12h Sham image. Image in 24h Sham should be revised for accuracy.
In Fig. 3a, the control (up) and CLP D1 (down) panels were duplicates of the correct Sham (up) and LPS D1 (down) images, respectively, resulted from a layout preparation error. Images in control (up) and CLP D1 (down) require replacement. The quantitative data in Fig. 3b and Fig. 3c (histograms) remain valid and correctly represent the experimental findings.
In Fig. 4b, the control diaphysis (right) is histologically confirmed to be the metaphysis, while the control metaphysis (right) actually shows the diaphysis. Modification is required to correct the image-label correspondence. These misassigned image-label pairs are limited to control groups, thus the statistical outcomes in Fig. 4c and Fig. 4d remain unaffected. In Fig. 4f, the representative flow cytometry plot for LPS D1 was inadvertently selected from an outlier dataset and requires replacement to reflect the predominant population distribution. The original and corrected figures are shown below. These corrections do not affect the findings or conclusions of this study.
