The Legend for Figure 10 is incomplete, as it does not specify that the panels for Figure 10b and 10c overlap. As a result,

“(AC) Abundant TCs were identified in the interstitial stroma. TCs had cell bodies (arrowheads) Podomeres were ramified and formed a 3D network, note: epithelium (EP), macrophage.”

should read:

“(AC) Abundant TCs were identified in the interstitial stroma. TCs had cell bodies (arrowheads) Podomeres were ramified and formed a 3D network, note: epithelium (EP), macrophage. Panel 10b shows one telocyte cell under the epithelium (Ep), associated with a macrophage (selected square); Panel 10c provides a more focused image of the same area under the epithelium, showing another telocyte (arrow head) in addition to the previous one.”
