[Corrigendum] Identification of Akt1 as a potent therapeutic target for oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract

Following the publication of the above paper, it was drawn to the Editor's attention by a concerned reader that, regarding the western blots shown in Figs. 1C and 3A, the six lanes for the control β‑tubulin blots shown in Fig. 1C appeared strikingly similar to the β‑tubulin blots in Fig. 3A, albeit the bands in Fig. 3A appeared to have been horizontally stretched. The authors were able to check their original data, and realized that Fig. 3 had inadvertently been assembled incorrectly. A revised version of Fig. 3, now showing data for both the Akt1 and β‑tubulin blots from one of the repeated experiments, is shown opposite. All authors confirm that the errors made in assembling Fig. 3 did not have a major impact on the conclusions reported in the above article, and they thank the Editor of International Journal of Oncology for allowing them the opportunity to publish a Corrigendum. Furthermore, all the authors agree to the publication of this Corrigendum, and apologize to the readers for any inconvenience caused.
