In the published article, there was three errors in “H&E stains of serial sections of colons” of Figure 2G as published. There are three errors in the original version of Figure 2G, which are as follows:
The first error is that the pathology pictures of the MC group (°C200, blue border in Figure 2G-Original Version) and the NC group (°C400, red border in Figure 2G-Original Version) are the HE staining results of the CMF-A group (°C200, °C400). The second error is that the picture in the NC group (°C200, green border in Figure 2G-Original Version) should be the staining results of the MC group (°C200).The third error is that the HE staining results of the NC group (°C200 in Figure 2G-Original Version) are missing.
The corrected pathology pictures “H&E stains of serial sections of colons” of Figure 2G in the correct version and its caption “CMF treatment reduced the incidence of CRA in mice. C57BL/6 mice were subjected to an AOM-based CRC induction protocol using three cycles of 2.5% DSS in drinking water. (A) Diagram shows the experimental course of AOM/DSS mouse model. (B) Body weights of AOM/DSS group and AOM/DSS + CMF group (1, 3, 4, 5, 6). (C) Histogram showing the size distribution of tumors. (D–F) Tumor sizes in different parts determined by Spot software for microscopic tumors or a caliper for macroscopic tumors. Average tumor size ± S.D. is shown; (G) H&E stains of serial sections of colons. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01. Data are presented as mean ± SD of mice in each group” appear below.
