The original version of this article unfortunately contained a mistake. An image of the STING KO mice (without DSS) was mistakenly used for the representative colon H&E images for wild type mice (without DSS) during the compilation of Fig. 5E. The authors apologize for the error. The correct Fig. 5E can be found below.
