The authors would like to correct the placement of the reference (Liang et al., 2018). The correct context for Liang et al. is with the sentence: “Universal stem cells may be engineered to contain suicide genes that will allow for their elimination”. Liang et al. describes a system to increase reliability of a suicide gene for potential use in universal stem cells. The original article cites Liang et al. together with other articles describing methods to generate universal stem cells that can evade immune surveillance. This has now been corrected in the article online.

We apologize for the error.
