Selective killing of cancer cells by a small molecule targeting the stress response to ROS

摘要

In this Letter we made errors in the description of the way we performed tumour measurements in the spontaneous (Fig. 2b and d) and the xenograft (Supplementary Fig. 9) mouse models. The legend of Fig. 2 incorrectly states that the graph of plotted tumour measurements represents tumour diameters from "grossly dissected tumours". Similarly, the Supplementary Fig. 9c legend incorrectly states that "After 3 weeks, tumour masses were excised and measured" and the legend of Supplementary Fig. 9d incorrectly states that: "After 3 weeks treatment, tumour sizes were measured". Instead, for the experiments in both Fig. 2 and Supplementary Fig. 9 we measured diameters of tumours in live mice at different time points (as indicated on the x axis of the graphs) during the course of the treatment. The tumours were measured between the skin surface layers using a caliper.
