In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Figures 2C and 8F as published. In Figure 2C, the trace for group LPS was incorrect as it was the same as that in group Con. In Figure 8F, the representative blotting band for MLKL was incorrectly selected, which belongs to another publication from us [2] (cited as reference 42 in this IJMS publication). We were preparing these two original manuscripts at the same time, and these two sets of bands were of high similarity. We apologize for these unintentional errors. The corrected Figure 2C and Figure 8F appear 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.
