The authors regret errors in Fig. 2B and Fig. S8, S9 in the published article which occurred during the manuscript revision process.

The corrected Fig. 2B and Fig. S8, S9 are shown here (the captions remain unchanged). The authors declare that these errors do not impact the overall findings and conclusions of the article.

In Fig. 2B the panel for Na map Na-TNSs was incorrect and has been updated.

Fig. 1 (B) EDS mapping and spectra of Ti, TNSs, Na-TNSs, Sr60-TNSs and Sr120-TNSs substrates (scale bar: 5 μm).

In Fig. S8 the panel for TNSs 7 days was incorrect and has been updated.

Fig. S8 Representative fluorescence microscopy images of MSCs grown onto these five kinds of different samples and TCPS, which was observed by a stereoscopic microscope (MVX10, Olympus) after staining with fluorescein diacetate (FDA) (scale bar, 200 µm).

In Fig. S9 the panels for NA-TNSs 4 days and Sr60-TNSs 4 days were incorrect and have been updated.

Fig. S9 Representative ALP staining of MSCs cultured onto TCPS and different Ti substrates after incubation for 4 and 7 days (scale bar: 1 mm).

An independent expert has viewed the corrected figures and confirmed that they are consistent with the discussions and conclusions presented.

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