Text Correction
There was an update made to the original publication [1]. The authors have included information about cytotoxicity data from the literature in Section 1 Introduction, Paragraph 2:
Fe3O4–Ni MOF composites were found to exhibit minimal toxicity toward healthy cells, confirming their potential as safe biomedical materials. For example, MIL-100(Fe) was shown to maintain viability ≥85.97% in both normal liver HL-7702 cells, with negligible LDH leakage and apoptotic signs, indicating excellent biocompatibility even at substantial concentrations [40]. Similarly, magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles—including variants like Fe3O4@Au—were categorized as grade 0–1 non-cytotoxic for L-929 fibroblasts, induced virtually no hemolysis (<5%), and exhibited a high LD50 (~8.4 g/kg) in animal models [41]. Also, research has shown that Ni-based MOFs exhibit strong biocompatibility with healthy cells [42,43]. These studies collectively demonstrate that Fe3O4–Ni MOF systems and related iron oxide composites cause little to no harm to healthy mammalian cells, reinforcing their suitability for therapeutic and diagnostic applications.
There was an error in the original publication. The manufacturer and model of the SEM instrument have been updated in Section 2. Materials and Methods, 2.4. Characterization of the Synthesized NimMOF, Paragraph 1:
FTIR spectroscopy of synthesized NimMOF and Fe3O4 NPs was performed by a Fourier transform spectrometer, Bruker TENSOR 27, Billerica, MA, USA. Moreover, the crystalline structure of NimMOF and Fe3O4 NPs was assayed by the XRD technique (Bruker Advance-D8 instrument and CuKα). The SEM method (FEI Quanta 200, Hillsboro, OR, USA) was used for the morphology observation of synthesized NPs, which operated at 25 kV.
