Erratum to: Methionine-restricted diet inhibits growth of MCF10AT1-derived mammary tumors by increasing cell cycle inhibitors in athymic nude mice

Erratum

After publication of the original article [1], it was noticed that the uncorrected version of this article was published which contained a typographical error within Tables 1 and 2. Within Table 1 the value “11.4 ± 4 03” incorrectly read as “114 ± 4 03”. Within Table 2 the value “46.9 ± 17” incorrectly read as “46 9 ± 17”. These errors do not in any way effect the results, findings, interpretation, conclusions, or the scientific basis of the paper. The correct versions of Tables 1 and 2 can be found below, and have been corrected in the original article.
