Apparently, corrections to some of the papers were submitted a while back:

Holden Thorp, editor-in-chief of the Science family of journals, said Tessier-Lavigne submitted corrections to both Science papers in October 2015, but “due to an error” Science never posted them. “We regret this error, apologize to the scientific community, and will be sharing our next steps as they relate to these two papers as soon as possible,” Thorp said in a statement.

I think it would be somewhat reassuring if corrections had been submitted before the scandal broke.  Still not a good look, but it does make the case that this was more unintential/sloppiness than intentional academic fraud.
