[This corrects the article DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2021.603734.].
In the original article, there was a mistake in the legend for Figure 8 and Figure 9 as published. In Figure 8, the numbering of figure legends was incorrect. In Figure 9, the description of previous Figure 9 was not detailed enough. The correct legends appear below.
FIGURE 9

p < 0.05 vs. the TFDR low dosage group, TFDR high dosage group. (B) (a) p38 MAPK, p-p38 MAPK, BMP-2, RUNX-2, VEGF, and HIF-1αprotein expression on BMSCs detected by western blot analysis. (b)–(g) were statistical analysis of (a). The data are expressed as the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. *p < 0.01 vs. the Control group; #
p < 0.01 vs. the TFDR low dosage group.
