2. Text Correction

A citation was lost in the sentence ‘This mat also has outstanding properties that make it suitable for medication and wound dressing’ below ‘Section 7.3. Lawsonia inermis’. A new reference, ‘Adeli-Sardou, M.; Yaghoobi, M.M.; Torkzadeh-Mahani, M.; Dodel, M. Controlled Release of Lawsone from Polycaprolactone/Gelatin Electrospun Nano Fibers for Skin Tissue Regeneration. Int. J. Biol. Macromol. 2019, 124, 478–491’, has been cited here.
The previously cited “Pourhakak et al.” in the paragraph below ‘Section 7.4. Zataria multiflora Boiss’ was wrong. It still belongs to the citation of Reference [70], so the cited author has been replaced with “They”.
With this correction, the order of some references has been adjusted accordingly. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
