Erratum for the Research Article “Inhibiting the oncogenic translation program is an effective therapeutic strategy in multiple myeloma” | Science Translational Medicine
In the experiment depicted in Fig. 5C of the Research Article “Inhibiting the oncogenic translation program is an effective therapeutic strategy in multiple myeloma,” by S. Manier et al., MYC (57 kDa) and MAF (48 kDa) were probed on the same membrane, and in the originally published MAF column, both bands were showing. The authors have since corrected the figure to clarify that the MAF band is accurately presented at 48 kDa. No data were affected, and the conclusions have not changed.

Erratum for the Research Article “Targeted disruption of the BCL9/β-catenin complex inhibits oncogenic Wnt signaling” | Science Translational Medicine
After publication of the Research Article “Targeted disruption of the BCL9/β-catenin complex inhibits oncogenic Wnt signaling” by K. Takada et al., the authors identified errors in fig. S7B, where two pairs of micrographs were inadvertently reused or misplaced. The sample 2 image for the SAH-BCL9MUT–treated group was a 180° rotation with partial duplication of sample 1 and has been replaced with the correct micrograph. For the vehicle-treated condition, the sample 1 and sample 2 images were inadvertently interchanged and have been corrected. Other data and the conclusions of the paper are not affected.

Erratum for the Focus “American medical education at a crossroads” | Science Translational Medicine
The original publication of the Focus “American medical education at a crossroads” by A. M. Feldman et al. omitted the disclosure that Marschall S. Runge was serving on the board of directors of Eli Lilly. The Acknowledgments section has been updated.
