Competing Interests
Dr. Juan Serrano is a pathologist at San Pablo Pathology who sectioned the tumors from the mice used in this study. Once the animals were euthanized, the authors provided Dr. Serrano the tumors in formalin where he sectioned and mounted them onto slides. He did not know what tumor belonged to what treatment. This does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
