Correction: Adenovirus-mediated transfer of hepatocyte growth factor gene to human dental pulp stem cells under good manufacturing practice improves their potential for periodontal regeneration in swine

• Correction of erroneous images in Fig. 2D of the original study, ensuring accurate representation of Annexin V staining for hDPSCs and HGF-hDPSCs. • The anti-apoptotic effect of HGF gene transfection is consistently observed across multiple mesenchymal stem cell types, including hDPSCs, under stress conditions. • The correction does not alter the original study's conclusions, confirming the robustness of the findings. • Highlights the importance of rigorous image verification in scientific publications to maintain research integrity.
