Abstract

Correction for ‘Distinct autophagy-inducing abilities of similar-sized nanoparticles in cell culture and live C. elegans’ by Qin Wang et al., Nanoscale, 2018, 10, 23059–23069, https://doi.org/10.1039/C8NR05851B.


The authors regret that Fig. 1 in the original article presented incorrect TEM images of silicon nanoparticles (Fig. 1c), CdTe quantum dots (Fig. 1g) and carbon dots (Fig. 1k). The corrected Fig. 1 is as shown below. An independent expert has viewed the corrected figure and has concluded that it is consistent with the discussions and conclusions presented in the article.

Fig. 1 Characterization of nanomaterials. (a–d) Show the UV-PL spectra of SiNPs (a), DLS (b), the corresponding TEM image (c) and the TEM diameter distribution (d). (e–h) Display the UV-PL spectra of QDs (e), DLS (f), the corresponding TEM image (g) and the TEM diameter distribution (h). (i–l) Present the UV-PL spectra of CDs (i), DLS (j), the corresponding TEM image (k) and the TEM diameter distribution (l). (m–p) Show the UV-absorption spectra of AuNPs (m), DLS (n), the corresponding TEM image (o) and the TEM diameter distribution (p). The insets in (c, g, k and o) show high-resolution TEM (HRTEM) images of a single SiNP, QD, CD and AuNP with clear crystal lattices, respectively.
