Abstract

Correction for ‘Near-infrared light triggered photothermal and photodynamic therapy with an oxygen-shuttle endoperoxide of anthracene against tumor hypoxia’ by Zheng Yuan et al., Polym. Chem., 2018, 9, 2124–2133, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1039/C8PY00289D.

The authors regret that an incorrect version of Fig. 6 was included in the original article. The correct version of Fig. 6 is presented below. The authors note that the correction does not change the conclusions of the paper.

Fig. 1 (a) Average tumor volume of the mice in different groups (n = 5). (b) Kaplan–Meier plots showing the percentage of animals remaining in the study as a function of time (n = 5). The asterisk symbols (*) and (***) indicate significant differences at the p < 0.05 and p < 0.001 levels, respectively. (c) H&E (top panel) and Ki-67 (bottom panel) staining of the tumor tissues from each group. The tumors collected from mice were intravenously injected with (1) 200 μL physiological saline, (2) 200 μL physiological saline + 4 min NIR laser irradiation, (3) 200 μL of 10 mg mL⁻¹ PT-NPs + 2 min NIR laser irradiation, (4) 200 μL of 10 mg mL⁻¹ PMT-NPs + 2 min NIR laser irradiation, (5) 200 μL of 10 mg mL⁻¹ PT-NPs + 4 min NIR laser irradiation, and (6) 200 μL of 10 mg mL⁻¹ PMT-NPs + 4 min NIR laser irradiation.

The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
