The authors and journal apologise for an error in the above paper, which appeared in volume 13 part 12, article ID e240303 . The error relates to Fig. 5J, given on page 10, in which incorrect immunofluorescent staining images were unintentionally included in the H2O2+ML385 group panels.
The authors state that both HO-1 (Fig. 5H) and SOD2 (Fig. 5J) are indicators of antioxidant capacity and both had decreased expression in the H2O2+ML385 group in this study. Therefore, this error has no impact on the final conclusions and scientific validity of the article.
The corrected Fig. 5 is given in full below:
