Error in Figure
In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Figure 7 as published. The photograph of the wound on day 3 for the CMS material was similar to that of the control sample. The authors inadvertently made an error in this image and apologize; the corrected photograph has now been provided. The corrected Figure 7 updated with the corrected panel for CMS day 3 appears below.
Figure 7.
Macroscopic photographs of the wounds treated with the control, CMS, and the CMS@2%CuO nanocomposite hydrogel specimens at different time periods (a,b) and histograms of the percentage of wound healing (c) and wound length (d). For each chart, columns labeled with an asterisk (*,**) are significantly different from the control (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01).
Missing Funding and Ethical Approval
In the original publication, the Funding statement and Institutional Review Board Statement were incomplete. The corrected statements appear below.
- Funding: This research received institutional support from Damghan University for materials and infrastructure. No external grant funding was utilized.
- Institutional Review Board Statement: Ethical approval for this study was formally issued in Persian by the Research Ethics Committee of Damghan University prior to the commencement of the animal experiments, as required. The original approval document bears the official institutional seal, approval code REC-DU-2020-334, 4 January 2020, confirming that ethical clearance was obtained before the study began.
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
