Secondly, the printed version of Fig. 5 featured an incorrect alignment of the scratch wound scratch assay results showing the migratory ability of the 786-O cells (the lower panel). The corrected version of Fig. 5 is featured opposite.

Figure 5. Wound scratch assay reveals the migratory ability of ACHN and 786-O cells following transfection with either miR-181a-5p mimics or NCs. Magnification, ×100. *P<0.05. miR, microRNA; NC, negative control; T, time.

Lastly, the funding information provided in the declarations section was incomplete.
