by Wang Y, Wang B, Xiao Y, Cai Q, Xing J, Tang H, Li R and Zhang H (2023). Front. Bioeng. Biotechnol. 11:1290413. doi: 10.3389/fbioe.2023.1290413

In the published article, there was an error in Western blot of Figure 4C as published. An extra GAPDH band image was included in the original Figure 4C. The corrected Western blot of Figure 4C and its caption FIGURE 4 BA-PEI/miR-34a induced apoptosis of tumor cell A549. (C) Western blots used to analyze the apoptotic protein (pro-caspase-3, -8, and -9 and PTEN), based on the control, miR-34a, PEI, BA-PEI, PEI/miR-34a, and BA-PEI/miR-34a. appear below.
