In the article titled “Fish Collagen Promotes the Expression of Genes Related to Osteoblastic Activity” [1], there were errors, which should be corrected as follows:

(i)The term “TCA” should be corrected to “TAC” throughout the article.(ii)In the sixth row of Table , “Chordin-like 1 (Chrd1)” should be corrected to “Chordin-like 1 (Chrdl1).” The corrected table is shown below.(iii)In Figure , “Pgfr” should be corrected to “Fgfr3,” and “Chrdl” should be corrected to “Chrdl1.” The corrected figure is shown below.(iv)In the Discussion, “In the present experiment, the function of MC3T3-E1 cells was accelerated after three-day culture in FC-positive or BGP-positive group, which was confirmed by the increase of the expression of calcification-related genes, except OCN,” should be corrected to “In the present experiment, the function of MC3T3-E1 cells was accelerated after three-day culture in FC-positive or BGP-positive group, which was confirmed by the increase of the expression of calcification-related genes, except OPN.”
