In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Figure 1 as published. Figure 1E (OX/PEG-CS NPs) was unintentionally assembled using a magnified image of AA-OX/PEG-CS NPs (Figure 1F). This duplication occurred during figure assembly, when magnified images from the same TEM session were organized, and panel E was mistakenly replaced. The corrected Figure 1 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 1. TEM images for (A) AA/CS NPs, (B) OX/CS NPs, (C) AA-OX/CS NPs, (D) AA/PEG-CS NPs, (E) OX/PEG-CS NPs, and (F) AA-OX/PEG-CS NPs. The arrow shows the PEG layer coating the CS NPs.
