In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in the assembly of Figure 4. The image panel for Figure 4B (Vehicle group) was inadvertently derived from the same source image as Figure 4A (Untreated group) during the trimming process, resulting in an unintended overlap between Figure 4A,B.
The correct Figure 4 appears below:
Figure 4.
PCNA-positive macrophages (brown nuclei) in the alveoli at week 6. (A) Untreated. (B) Vehicle. (C) DWCNT 1.5 μm. (D) DWCNT 7 μm. (E) DWCNT 15 μm. (F) MWCNT-7. Lung sections of rats administered DWCNTs at 6 weeks. Among the PCNA-positive macrophages that compose the granulation tissue, some clearly phagocytose DWCNTs and MWCNT-7 (arrows) (C–F).
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
