In the original publication [1], there were errors in the representative images shown in Figure 2A (C6LPs), Figure 7K (HCLPs heart H&E staining), Supplementary Figure S5A (C6LPs), and Supplementary Figure S5C (MC6LPs). The authors sincerely apologize for these errors, which resulted from oversights during image selection and figure assembly.
Upon careful re-examination of the original data, we found that the image used for the C6LPs group in Figure 2A was mistakenly taken from the image set belonging to the Free CeT group shown in Figure 3D during figure preparation. In addition, during the compilation of representative images for Figure 7K (HCLPs heart), an image intended for the HCLPs group was incorrectly copied from the CLPs group. Furthermore, incorrect images were inadvertently included in Supplementary Figure S5A (C6LPs) and S5C (MC6LPs) due to errors during the organization of multi-time-point cellular uptake experiment images. The correct original images from the respective experimental batches have been retrieved and used to replace the erroneous ones. The corrected figures now accurately represent the intended experimental data. We deeply regret these oversights and wish to confirm that these corrections do not affect the reported results or conclusions of the study, as the experimental analyses and findings remain unchanged.
