Correction to: A Pro-Healing Short-Chain Antimicrobial Peptide That Inhibits Sepsis (Vol 67, Pages 3733, 3735, 3736, 2024)
This correction addresses three minor errors in the originally published article 'A pro-healing short-chain antimicrobial peptide that inhibits sepsis' (Sci China Mater, 2024, 67: 3733–3736). The errors, caused by incorrect placement of images during layout, pertain to Figure 1g, Figure 3b, and Figure 4a. The corrected figures are provided herein. These corrections do not alter the results or conclusions of the original study. The original work reported the characterization and antimicrobial mechanism of LS5, a short-chain antimicrobial peptide, including minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and propidium iodide (PI) uptake kinetics. Biocompatibility of LS5 and its gel formulation (LS5-gel) was evaluated through live-dead assays, blood cell morphology, cell migration, viability, MTT assay, hemolysis rate, and wound healing rate. The statistical significance of the biocompatibility data was denoted by p-values (p < 0.05 for all reported comparisons). All authors agree with the corrections and apologize for the errors. This correction ensures the integrity of the published record and maintains the reproducibility of the reported findings.
