This article has been corrected: The authors discovered a duplication error in Figure 4C, where the pAkt blot for SNB-19 cells was mistakenly duplicated in place of the pAkt blot for UP007 cells.

The authors have provided uncropped Western blots for pAkt and Axl for both cell lines and replaced the incorrect image with the correct one from the original experiments. The band densitometry results, derived from the true original blots, remain unchanged and accurately displayed in the graphs.

This inadvertent error does not compromise the validity or integrity of the study’s findings, and this correction does not affect the conclusions of the study. The corrected Figure 4C, produced from the original data, is shown below.
