Bioactive antibacterial silica-based nanocomposites hydrogel scaffolds with high angiogenesis for promoting diabetic wound healing and skin repair: Erratum

In our paper, Figure 4 and Figure 6 should be corrected as follows. The authors regret that this mistake was happened, although these mistakes have no effect on the conclusion in this paper.

Figure 4.

Robust antibacterial activity of PABC hydrogel. A-B) Growth picture of bacteria (S.aureus and E.coli) on agar plate (A) and survival ratio (B) after co-culture with hydrogel for 0, 3, 6 and 9 h; C-D) Bacteria (S.aureus and E.coli) growth graphs on agar plate (C) and survival ratio (D) after co-culture of hydrogel for repeatable times (adding bacteria respectively at 0, 3, 6 h).

Effect of hydrogel on diabetic wound healing. (A) Construction of diabetic wound model in ICR mice (about 1 cm in diameter); B) Gross observation of wound healing process during 21 days treatment by various hydrogels (PA, PAB, PABC), DM: Diabetes mellitus wound was used as a control; (C) Wound closure rates at day 7, 14 and 21.
