Following the publication of this article, the authors became aware of an error in the final assembly of Fig. 5a for the image displaying ERK levels in the BE cell line. The authors have provided an updated version of the BE panel, in which the western blot image for ERK has been replaced with the correct blot. The description of the results and the figure legend remain unchanged, and the authors confirm that the conclusions of the article are not affected by this correction. The authors apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused for readers.
