The author would like to make the following corrections to the original publication [1]. We would like to complement our study with the ethical issues involved in the management of bovine bones. We have added related ethical information to the original publication in the “Materials and Methods” and “Institutional Review Board Statement” sections.
1. Ethical Information Added to the “Materials and Methods” Section
The sentence has now been inserted in “2. Materials and Methods”, “2.1. Bone Scaffolds’ Processing, Nanoparticles’ Synthesis, and AgNPs’ Impregnation”, “Paragraph 1”, after the first sentence:
“The tests followed a process that meant that this project did not involve the use of live animals, as bovine bones were obtained directly from a slaughterhouse.”
2. Ethical Information Added to the “Institutional Review Board Statement” Section
Ethical review and approval were waived for this study, due to the bones under investigation being from bovine that had already been slaughtered within the commercial value chain.
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
