Error in Figure

In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Figure 8, as published. The image “g” from Figure 8A, representing Mel-Juso cells treated with the TMPyP4/TiO2 complex, was incorrectly placed in the original publication. The corrected Figure 8 appears 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.

Figure 8. LIVE/DEAD staining on treated Mel-Juso (A) and CCD-1070Sk cells (B) after light irradiation for 7.5 min. Cells were treated with different concentrations of TMPyP4: 0.5 μg/mL (a), 0.75 μg/mL (b), and 1 μg/mL (c); TiO2 NPs: 20 μg/mL (d), 30.7 μg/mL (e) and 40 μg/mL (f) and TMPyP4/TiO2 complex: 0.5/20 μg/mL (g), 0.75/30.7 μg/mL (h), 1/40 μg/mL (i). Control cells (Ctrl) are non-treated, and light irradiated. Live cells are stained with calcein AM (green fluorescence), and dead cells with ethidium homodimer (red fluorescence). The scale bar is the same for all images and is 100 µm.
