Erratum to the effects of a biodegradable Mg-based alloy on the function of VSMCs via immunoregulation of macrophages through Mg-induced responses

Erratum to: Ann Transl Med 2021;9:1292

This article (1) titled “The effects of a biodegradable Mg-based alloy on the function of VSMCs via immunoregulation of macrophages through Mg-induced responses” (doi: 10.21037/atm-21-1375), unfortunately contains errors in Figure 3 and Figure 4. In Figure 3F, the legend of the Y axis should be “Vegf Relative Expression”, not “Vefb Relative Expression”. Besides, a mistake was found in Figure 4A, which used a wrong flow cytometry plot. The flow cytometry plot in Figure 1C was mistakenly used in Figure 4A. The revised flow cytometry plot in Figure 4A showed that MgCl₂ solutions and JDBM extracts at different concentrations had little cytotoxic effect on A7r5 cells, which does not change the conclusion of present article. Finally, the caption in Figure 4F should be “Control, 2 mM MgCl₂, 6 mM MgCl₂, 5% extract, and 15% extract”, not “Control, 5% extract, 15% extract, 2 mM MgCl₂, and 6 mM MgCl₂”. The corrected Figure 3 and Figure 4 can be found below.

Corrected Figure 3:

Corrected Figure 4:
