NF-κB activation enhances STING signaling by altering microtubule-mediated STING trafficking

(Cell Reports 42, 112185; March 28, 2023)

In our article published on March 28, 2023, the representative image for the cGAMP-treated group was inadvertently replaced with that of the control group in STING-KO cells in Figure 7A, resulting in two control panels being displayed. Similarly, the representative image of the control group of WT cells was inadvertently replaced with that of STING-KO cells in Figure S8A, resulting in two control panels of STING-KO cells being displayed. The errors occurred during figure preparation. The authors have carefully re-examined the original data and now provide the corrected version of the figure panels, which accurately present the appropriate control and treated groups.

The errors and their corrections do not affect any of the conclusions reported in the original manuscript. The authors sincerely apologize for any confusion or inconvenience these errors may have caused.

CERN’s Future Circular Collider project gets $1 billion funding

In a historic first for the laboratory, CERN has received $1 billion in private donations to support the development of the Future Circular Collider (FCC).

This philanthropic backing marks a shift in CERN’s 72-year funding history as it seeks to bridge the gap for the project’s estimated $18 billion price tag.

It comes from the Breakthrough Prize Foundation, the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Fund, and billionaire entrepreneurs John Elkann and Xavier Niel. Together, they pledged a combined $1 billion in late December 2025 to jumpstart the project.

ACF plugin bug gives hackers admin on 50,000 WordPress sites

A critical-severity vulnerability in the Advanced Custom Fields: Extended (ACF Extended) plugin for WordPress can be exploited remotely by unauthenticated attackers to obtain administrative permissions.

ACF Extended, currently active on 100,000 websites, is a specialized plugin that extends the capabilities of the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin with features for developers and advanced site builders.

The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025–14533, can be leveraged for admin privileges by abusing the plugin’s ‘Insert User / Update User’ form action, in versions of ACF Extended 0.9.2.1 and earlier.
