Text Correction
In the original publication [1], as ref. 50 was retracted, it has been replaced with another reference. In this case, the main text has been revised accordingly.
A correction has been made to Section 2, Section 2.4, Paragraph 1:
Original text:
“In an in vitro study, knocking down AIM2 in HCC cells enhanced cell migration, the formation of cell pseudopodium, wound healing, and led to the activation of epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) tumor metastasis, whereas the reintroduction of AIM2 attenuated these effects [50].”
Revised text:
“In addition, AIM2 overexpression inhibited HCC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion while promoting apoptosis and autophagy, effects that were blocked once AIM2 was knocked down [50].”
