Since the publication of the above article the authors have identified an error in Figure 1. Figure 1 shows the modulation of telomerase activity by herbimycin A in K562 cells: (a) cell cycle and (b) telomerase activity, mRNA expressions of hTERT, hTERC, TEP-1, c-myc, cyclin D1 and b-actin, and c-Myc protein. The authors however wish to inform the readers that Figure 1b incorrectly shows hTERT mRNA, which is the result of herbimycin A treatment of cyclin-D1-transfected K562 cells (Figure 3b, hTERT mRNA). While preparing Figure 1, the authors mistakenly submitted a figure that used the incorrect photo data following confusion regarding file names.

The correct figure can be found below:
