Corrigendum

In the article by Pinto et al. (2010) the authors of this article have drawn to our attention an error in Figure 2 parts G and I of their manuscript as published. The corrected version, along with the accompanying correct figure legend, is:

Figure 2.

Electron micrographs of the ventral lobe of the prostate from the control (a–d) and mdx (e–i) groups. (a) Simple epithelium with tall columnar cells; basal nuclei with nucleoli (Nu); microvilli (Mv) cover the cellular surface. (b) Short and scattered microvilli (Mv). (c) Rough endoplasmic reticulum cisternae parallel, flattened Golgi complex cisternae (arrows). (d) Secretory and basal epithelial cells (Bc); mitochondria (M); basal lamina (arrow); stroma with collagen fibres (col) underlying and smooth muscle cells (smc). (e) Cuboidal cells and basal cells (Bc); irregular nuclei with nucleoli (Nu); vacuolization of the cytoplasm (asterisks); inset: apoptotic nuclei (arrows) in the secretory epithelium. (f) Discontinuity of microvilli and rare secretory vesicles. (g) Dilated Golgi cisternae (arrows) and mitochondria (M) with ruptured cristae. (h) Digestory vacuoles (asterisks) and mitochondria (M); hypertrophied stroma with collagen fibres (col) intermingling with smooth muscle cells (smc) and fibroblast (fb); smooth muscle cells (smc) showing spinous aspect (arrow) and secretory vesicles (v). (i) Increased collagen fibres (Col), fibroblast (Fb) and smooth muscle cells (Smc) as well as other cellular types. (a–i) L, lumen; EP, secretory epithelium; N, nuclei of the epithelial cell; Vs, secretory vesicles; RER, rough endoplasmic reticulum cisternae; St, stroma.
