Oh, come on, @[email protected] Science Translational Medicine, correcting a paper for a photoshopped image?
That is absolutely bonkers, and you should do much, much better.

Instead of investigating properly, the journal issued a *corrigendum* 😱
"The authors regret that Figure 3D were mistakenly uploaded - corrections do not affect the conclusion."
The original figure was simply replaced with a completely different set of images😭
#ThisImageIsFine
1. They did not catch the repetitive areas in the original figure
2. They did not address the PubPeer concerns about photoshopping with a retraction - instead, they allowed the authors to replace all panels 😡
3. They did not check if the new panels were ok.
