Erratum for the Research Article “Preventing hypocontractility-induced fibro-blast expansion alleviates dilated cardiomyopathy”

In the Research Article “Preventing hypocontractility-induced fibroblast expansion alleviates dilated cardiomyopathy” by R. Bretherton et al. (11 September 2025, 10.1126/science.adv9157), the authors have corrected errors that arose from misinterpreting FRET efficiency. Heightened FRET efficiency exhibits lower focal adhesion tension, not higher focal adhesion tension as the original text indicated. The text and Fig. 3 legend have been revised accordingly. In addition, more detailed methods and two corresponding supporting references (references 89 and 90) have been added for vinculin FRET-tension sensor experiments (materials and methods section “Vinculin FRET measurements and analysis”).
