Error in Figure and Legend

In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Figure 10 as published. Figure 10c,d was mistakenly swapped during pasting for paper preparation. There was also a mistake in the legend for Figure 10. The caption for Figure 10 incorrectly assigns Figure 10c as the control for non-treated HFF2 cells when it actually depicts HFF2 cells treated with SmL-Ag-NPs, while Figure 10d correctly shows untreated HFF2 cells. The corrected Figure 10 and caption appears below. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.

Figure 10.

Figure 10

Apoptosis induced by SmL-Ag-NPs in MDA-MB231 cells was analyzed by flow cytometry using annexinV-FITC/PI kit (p < 0.01, n = 3). Representative dot plot showing viable cells (lower left quadrant), early apoptotic cells (lower right quadrant), late apoptotic cells (upper right quadrant), and necrotic cells (upper left quadrant) in (a) control MDA-MB231 cells, (b) MDA-MB231 cells treated with 37.62 µg/mL of SmL-Ag-NPs, (c) control HFF2 cells and (d) HFF2 cells treated with 37.62 µg/mL of SmL-Ag-NPs. Control refers to cells with no SmL-Ag-NPs treatment. (e) Apoptosis rate in untreated and treated MDA-MB231 cells. Different lower-case letters indicate a significant difference among different treatments. Figure 10a,c was reused with permission from Gharari et al.
