[Corrigendum] Anti‑fibrotic effect of Bunge extract in kidneys via the hedgehog signaling pathway.

Subsequently to the publication of the above paper, an interested reader drew to the authors' attention that certain of the data featured in Fig. 1A on p. 740 had already appeared in another publication written by the same authors [ Bunge extract exerts renal anti‑fibrotic effects and . Bai Y, Lu H, Wu C, Lin C, Liang Y and Chen B. Life Sci: 105, 22‑30, 2014]. The authors have been able to re‑examine their original data, and realized that certain of the data were misplaced in Fig. 1 in the above paper on account of mishandling their data. The revised version of Fig. 1 in shown on the next page, featuring the corrected data in Fig. 1A for the HE staining SSBE- and Vehicle-UUO experiments, and the Masson staining/SSBE and Vehicle/Sham and UUO experiments (all four data panels), the TGF-β1 experiments in Fig. 1C (all four data panels) and the four data panels in Fig. 1D. Note that the errors made during the assembly of this figure did not adversely affect the overall conclusions reported in the study. The authors are grateful to the Editor of for allowing them the opportunity to publish this corrigendum, and all authors agree to the publication of this corrigendum. Furthermore, they wish to apologize to the readership of the Journal for any inconvenience caused. [Molecular Medicine Reports 16: 737‑745, 2017; DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2017.6628].
