Error in Figure

In the original publication [1], there were two mistakes in Figures 7 and 8 as published. Figure 7G included an incorrect image due to file misplacement. Figure 8G incorrectly displayed the dataset intended for Figure 8B during the data import process. The corrected Figure 7 and Figure 8 appear below. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. These corrections were approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
