Following publication of the original article (Peng et al. 2024), the authors have identified an inadvertent duplication of two images (D12 UiPSC-P and UiPSC-PE) in Figure 6B. The error, which occurred during image annotation, was identified upon re-examination of the raw data and has now been corrected. This correction does not affect the results or conclusions of the study.

The incorrect Fig. 6 is:

Fig. 6.

UiPSCs can differentiate into lung progenitor cells in vitro. a Schematic diagram of lung progenitor cell differentiation. b Cell morphology at different time points during cell line differentiation into lung progenitor cells (scale: 200 μm). c Detection of lung progenitor cell markers (NKX2.1 and EPCAM) by immunofluorescence assay on day 15 after differentiation. Nuclear staining with DAPI (scale: 100 μm). d Flow cytometry detection of pulmonary progenitor cell markers (CD47 + &CD26- and EPCAM) on day 15 of differentiation. e Detection of lung precursor cell markers (NKX2.1 and EPCAM) in cells on day 15 of differentiation by qPCR
