Abstract
Following the publication of the above article, an interested reader drew to the authors' attention that, for the electrophoretic blots shown in Fig. 3A‑a, the data shown for the BMP7 and GAPDH bands were strikingly similar, such that it appeared that the same data had been included in this figure part to show the results from the differently performed experiments. The authors were able to re‑examine their original data, and realized that the BMP7 bands had inadvertently been included in this figure twice. The revised version of Fig. 3, now incorporating the correct data for the GAPDH bands in Fig. 3A‑a, is shown on the next page. The authors can confirm that the error made in asembling this figure did not have a significant impact on either the results or the conclusions reported in this study, and all the authors agree with the publication of this Corrigendum. The authors are grateful to the Editor of International Journal of Molecular Medicine for allowing them the opportunity to publish this Corrigendum; furthermore, they apologize to the readership of the Journal for any inconvenience caused.
