Author Correction: Titration of RAS alters senescent state and influences tumour initiation
Nature published an author correction on May 1, 2026, for the original research article titled "Titration of RAS alters senescent state and influences tumour initiation," which was initially released on August 7, 2024. The correction addresses a specific error in Extended Data Figure 2e, where a t-SNE plot labeled as representing gene expression for Cdkn1a (p21) incorrectly displayed data for Cdkn1b (p27). The authors have rectified this mistake in both the HTML and PDF versions of the article to ensure the accurate Cdkn1a data is presented. Crucially, the correction notice explicitly states that this graphical error does not impact the textual content, overall findings, or scientific conclusions of the study. The research, conducted by an international team including scientists from the University of Cambridge and the University of Liverpool, investigates how varying levels of RAS activity influence cellular senescence and tumor initiation. This update ensures the integrity of the visual data supporting the study's insights into tumor heterogeneity and senescence mechanisms, maintaining the reliability of the published scientific record for researchers in oncology and cell biology.
