A Corrigendum on
Prion-Like Propagation of Protein Misfolding and Aggregation in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

by McAlary, L., Plotkin, S. S., Yerbury, J. J., and Cashman, N. R. (2019). Front. Mol. Neurosci. 12:262. doi: 10.3389/fnmol.2019.00262

In the original article, there was a mistake in Table 1 as published. The incorrect original research articles were referenced for some of the table cells. The corrected Table 1 appears below.

TABLE 1

Table 1. Evidence supporting the prion-like characteristics of ALS-associated proteins.

The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
