Abstract

Correction for ‘Mitochondrial dysfunction-induced apoptosis in breast carcinoma cells through a pH-dependent intracellular quercetin NDDS of PVPylated-TiO2NPs’ by Thondhi Ponraj et al., J. Mater. Chem. B, 2018, 6, 3555–3570.


The authors regret that incorrect microscopy images were used in the middle row (50 μg/mL) of Fig. 11 of the original manuscript. The corrected version of Fig. 11 is shown below. Please note that the caption for Fig. 11 remains unchanged.

Fig. 11 Fluorescence microscope images of MCF-7 cells incubated with the Qtn-PVPylated-TiO2NPs nanocombinations labeled with fluorescein for 3 h at different concentrations (25 mg mL−1 (top panel); 50 mg mL−1 (middle panel), and 100 mg mL−1 (bottom panel) in MCF-7 cells). Bright field; green fluorescence from fluorescein; blue fluorescence from DAPI in the nuclei (cell nuclei were stained with DAPI); and the merged images.

In addition, the authors wish to point out that ref. 18 in the original manuscript is incorrect and should appear as listed below.
