Abstract
Following the publication of this article, a reader drew to our attention an anomaly associated with the data presented in Fig. 8. The reader found that the two images of the Control group treated with TGF-β1 in Fig. 8 have some overlap. After careful scrutiny, we found that we somehow misused a migation image for invasion (lower pannel) when constructing the final figure. This does not affect the interpretation of the experiments and the conclusions of the study. A corrected version of Fig. 8 is presented here. We would like to thank the reader of our article for drawing this matter to our attention.
