In this Article, the legend of Figure 3 is incorrect:
“A flowchart of the rapid (RAP) system for bone staining (RAP-B). The new procedure for bone staining which is rapid, nondestructive, and allowed to obtain high-definition, fine bone-stained specimens, was based on our RAP system. Cartilage staining (RAP-C) can be applied as single staining or optionally added before the bone staining for double staining of bone and cartilage (RAP-B/C, Supplementary Fig. S8). FIXATIVE: 5% formalin, 5% Triton X-100, 1% potassium hydroxide (KOH); B-STAINING SOLUTION: 0.05% alizarin red S, 20% ethylene glycol, 1% KOH; C-STAINING SOLUTION: 50–70% ethanol, 20% acetate, 0.015–0.02% alcian blue; CLEARING SOLUTION: 20% Tween 20, 1% KOH; ENHANCEMENT SOLUTION: 20% ethylene glycol, 5% Triton X-100, 1% KOH.”
should read:
