Corrigendum to “Plasmatic Membrane Expression of Adhesion Molecules in Human Cardiac Progenitor/Stem Cells Might Explain Their Superior Cell Engraftment after Cell Transplantation”

In the article titled “Plasmatic Membrane Expression of Adhesion Molecules in Human Cardiac Progenitor/Stem Cells Might Explain Their Superior Cell Engraftment after Cell Transplantation” [1], the terms FS and FAC were inadvertently exchanged in Table 1. The authors explained that this was due to an error during the preparation of the manuscript and the corrected Table 1 is shown below:
