Since the publication of this paper, it has been noted that affiliations 2 and 3 have been assigned incorrectly.

Affiliation 2 should read ‘Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology, Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Neuroregeneration, Nantong University, Nantong, People’s Republic of China’, while affiliation 3 should read ‘Tenth People’s Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University, Shanghai, People’s Republic of China’.

The full list of affiliations should therefore appear as follows:

1East Hospital, Tongji University School of Medicine, Shanghai 200120, People’s Republic of China

2Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology, Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Neuroregeneration, Nantong University, Nantong, People’s Republic of China

3Tenth People’s Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University, Shanghai, People’s Republic of China

4Department of Hematology, Tongji Hospital of Tongji University School of Medicine, Shanghai, People’s Republic of China

5Advanced Institute of Translational Medicine, Tongji University School of Medicine, Shanghai, People’s Republic of China

6School of Life Sciences, Tsinghua University, Beijing, People’s Republic of China

7Department of Neuroscience, Sheffield Institute for Translational Neuroscience (SITraN), University of Sheffield, Sheffield, UK
