Corrigendum to “Polyhexamethylene guanidine derived carbon dots with antibacterial and immunoregulatory properties loaded on carboxymethyl chitosan and ε-poly-L-lysine hydrogel to achieve sustained drug release for treating Pseudomonas aeruginosa infected wound” [Mater. Today Bio 35 (2025) 102420]

The authors regret that Fig. 9C in the originally published article contained an error, in which identical images were inadvertently used to represent the expression of VEGF both in P-CDs and P-CDs@EPCS groups during the assembly of the final figures. The corrected Fig. 9 has been re-assembled using the original, appropriate images from the corresponding experiments. This error does not affect the results, statistical analyses, or the conclusions of the study. The authors apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Fig. 9. Immunohistochemical analysis. (A-D) Immunohistochemical images of CD86 (A), CD206 (B), VEGF (C), and COL-1 (D) in tissue samples from P. aeruginosa-infected wounds at day 10 post-treatment with saline (control), P-CDs, EPCS, and P-CDs@EPCS dressings, respectively (Scale bar = 50 μm). (E-H) Quantification of CD86 (E), CD206 (F), VEGF (G), and COL-1 (H) expression from the corresponding image. Data in E-H were presented as mean ± SD (n = 3), ∗P < 0.05, ∗∗P < 0.01, ∗∗∗P < 0.001.
