Simple Explanation

This corrigendum addresses the omission of a citation in the original article regarding the role of astrocytes in spinal cord injury recovery. The missing citation (Silver, 2016) relates to the bridging function of astrocytes in axonal regrowth following spinal cord injury. The authors have corrected the article to include the citation and state that this correction does not alter the scientific conclusions of the original work.

Key Findings

1
The original article lacked a citation to Silver (2016) regarding the role of astrocytes in forming a 'drawbridge' for axonal regrowth.
2
The citation has been inserted into the section discussing the dual role of the glial scar in spinal cord injury recovery.
3
The authors affirm that the correction does not impact the scientific validity or conclusions of the original article.

Research Summary

This corrigendum rectifies the omission of a relevant citation in a prior publication concerning the dual role of glial scars and scar-forming astrocytes in spinal cord injury. Specifically, a reference to Silver (2016) was missing from the discussion of astrocytes forming a 'drawbridge' to facilitate axonal regrowth. The authors have updated the original article with the missing citation and assert that this correction does not change the scientific findings of the study.

Practical Implications

Ensuring accurate citations

Highlights the importance of including all relevant references in scientific publications to give proper credit and context.

Maintaining scientific integrity

Demonstrates the commitment to correcting errors and upholding the standards of scientific rigor.

Clarifying astrocyte function

Reinforces the understanding of astrocytes' role in axonal regrowth after spinal cord injury, specifically their 'drawbridge' function.
