Abstract
Correction for ‘In vitro vascularization of tissue engineered constructs by non-viral delivery of pro-angiogenic genes’ by Helena R. Moreira et al., Biomater. Sci., 2021, DOI: 10.1039/d0bm01560a.
The authors regret the incorrect version of Fig. 3 was included in the original manuscript. The correct version of Fig. 3 is as shown below:

| Fig. 3 hDMECs organization on COL-GAG and GG-HyA scaffolds after 3 and 7 days. (A) Chosen plasmids were delivered to hDFbs and seeded in different scaffolds. The angiogenic capacity of the system is maximized through the release of angiogenic proteins providing a 3D microenvironment for endothelial cells proliferation and organization. (B) hDFbs were transfected with PEI-pVEGF, Ch-pFGF2 and the dual combination of both (P + C) and seeded on COL-HyA, COL-ChS and GG-HyA scaffolds with hDMECs. Control corresponds to co-cultures where hDFbs were not transfected. In all scaffolds, co-culture of hDMECs (CD31) with PEI-pVEGF hDFbs showed the formation of an extensive CD31 + endothelial network (white arrows) in all conditions after 7 days. Scale bar: 75 μm. | ||
