Error in Figure

In the original publication, there was a mistake in Figure 11 as published [1]. One of the sub-images was mistakenly used during the assembly process. Additionally, to maintain consistent height and width across the panels, some distortion of the sub-images occurred.
The corrected Figure 11 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 11. MS4A4A was a potential therapeutic target for pulmonary fibrosis. (A) Tracheal MS4A4A lentivirus inhalation inhibited the relative expression of MS4A4A induced by BLM. (B,C) Tracheal inhalation of MS4A4A lentivirus inhibited the relative expression of BLM-induced fibrosis-related gene α-SMA (B) and Col1A1 (C). (D) The content of hydroxyproline in lung of MS4A4A lentivirus treated mice decreased significantly. (E) Ashcroft score analysis for evaluating fibrosis severity in mice from various groups. (F) Histological staining (HE and IHC, α-SMA, Col1A1 and MS4A4A) demonstrating that treatment with MS4A4A mitigates BLE-induced lung morphological alterations and fibrotic area expansion (scale bars: 2 mm, 50 µm and 200 µm). Abbreviations: BLM, bleomycin; HE, Hematoxylin and Eosin staining; IHC, Immunohistochemistry. Statistical significance between groups was determined using two-sided unpaired t-tests. * p < 0.05, and ** p < 0.01. Data are presented as mean ± standard error (SE). Data normality was verified with the Shapiro–Wilk test, and homogeneity of variances was confirmed using Levene’s test, with all data passing these checks.
