Correction: MiR-29b-3p inhibits migration and invasion of papillary thyroid carcinoma by down-regulating COL1A1 and COL5A1. During the final typesetting of the above manuscript, errors occurred during the linking of images during figure assembly, resulting in the accidental use of experimental images from incorrect batches and different cell lines in Figures 2E, 4N, and 5L. The authors sincerely apologize for these oversights. The corrected figures have been verified against the original data and are provided. All raw data, analyses, and the scientific conclusions of the study remain fully valid and unchanged. Figure 2E: The EdU assay image for the B-CPAP cell line "NC inhibitor" treatment group was misplaced during typesetting. The panel has been replaced with the correct image from the appropriate cell line for the B-CPAP NC inhibitor group. Figure 4N (Immunofluorescence - IF): Image arrangement errors occurred due to linking mistakes during typesetting. The panels for the K1 cell line "miR-29b-3p Mimic" treatment group and the B-CPAP cell line "Mimic NC," "miR-29b-3p Mimic," and "miR-29b-3p Mimic + OE COL5A1" treatment groups mistakenly displayed IF results from wrong batches or other cell lines. All affected panels have been replaced with correct images that match their specific cell lines, treatments, and experiments. Figure 5L: The immunofluorescence (IF) image for the B-CPAP cell line "si-COL5A1-2" treatment group was misplaced during typesetting. The panel has been replaced with the correct IF image from the proper batch. Impact: These errors were limited to figure assembly during typesetting and involved mislinking image files, resulting in the display of images from unintended experimental batches and cell lines. The underlying experimental data supporting this study, which substantiates all results and the manuscript's conclusions regarding miR-29b-3p's role in inhibiting PTC migration and invasion by targeting COL1A1 and COL5A1, remain solid and unaffected. The corrected figures now accurately reflect the original data. All authors have reviewed and approved this erratum. We thank the readers and the journal for their attention and regret any confusion caused.
