Abstract
In the Editorial, “Histochemical Insights into Pancreatic Islet Biology,” by Rebecca L. Hull and Denis G. Baskin, J Histochem Cytochem, August 2015, 63:541-542, there were several errors in the references section. (DOI: 10.1369/0022155415586442 ) First, the following references did not include page numbers: Asadi A, Bruin JE, Kieffer TJ (2015).
