Corrigendum to ‘A multifunctional living hydrogel for the synergistic management of infected diabetic wounds’ [Mater Today Bio 32 (2025) 101787]

The authors regret that errors appeared in Figure 4a and 6d in the original publication of this article due to an oversight during manuscript formatting and image assembly. In Figure 4a, the hydrogen peroxide fluorescence image of the LRh group was inadvertently used as the image for the gel@F-LRh group. In Figure 6d, the immunofluorescence staining image of the entire LRh group was inadvertently used as that of the gel@LRh group. The incorrect images of the LRh group in Figure 4a and 6d have been replaced with the correct images based on the original data. The corrected Figure 4 and 6 are presented below. The authors confirm that these errors do not affect the original results or the scientific conclusions of the study.
