This Correction follows an Expression of Concern relating to this article previously published by Portland Press.

The authors of the original article “Up-regulated ENO1 promotes the bladder cancer cell growth and proliferation via regulating β-catenin” (Biosci Rep (2019) 39(9); https://doi.org/10.1042/BSR20190503) would like to correct the western blots in their figures. The authors state that in their original Figures 1-5, the western blot bands were obscure due to the chemiluminescence machine used. They have repeated the whole experiment on request by the Editorial Board, with a higher resolution setting. The authors declare that the results of their new experiment do not affect the results and conclusions of their original article.
