Author Correction: Ontogeny and transcriptional regulation of Thetis cells

Thetis cells, a novel cell type identified in the study, are the subject of an author correction published in Nature on June 16, 2026. The correction addresses the ontogeny and transcriptional regulation of these cells, which were first detailed in a previous publication. The research focuses on understanding the developmental origins and the genetic mechanisms that control the expression of genes within Thetis cells. This clarification is crucial for accurately interpreting the functional roles and potential implications of Thetis cells in biological processes. The authors aim to provide a more precise understanding of how these cells arise and how their specific gene expression patterns are established and maintained. The correction ensures the scientific community has the most accurate information regarding the foundational biology of Thetis cells, facilitating further research and validation in the field.
