Following publication of the original article [1], the author informed us that Fig. 5 was incorrect.

Fig. 5

MSCs reduced BMEC apoptosis in the brains of SAP rats. a TUNEL staining of the brain, scale bar = 200 μm. No apoptosis was observed in the control group, but numerous apoptotic cells, mainly BMECs, were observed in the SAP group. Fewer apoptotic cells were observed in the SAP+MSCs group than in the SAP group. b Statistical analysis of TUNEL-positive cells. ***p < 0.001

The correct figure is given below.
