A Correction on
An injectable, self-healing, anti-infective, and anti-inflammatory novel glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel for promoting acute wound healing and regeneration

by Guo Q, Li R, Zhao Y, Wang H, Luo W, Zhang J, Li Z and Wang P (2025). Front. Bioeng. Biotechnol. 12:1525644. doi: 10.3389/fbioe.2024.1525644

There was a mistake in Figure 1E as published. After re-reviewing the manuscript carefully, we realized that an inadvertent error occurred in Figure 1, where the image of Figure 1E was an incorrect version. By referring the original experimental records of Electron microscope images of hydrogels, we have prepared a corrected version of the Figure 1E and the entire Figure 1 to rectify this mistake. This error does not affect the results and conclusions of this study. The corrected Figure 1 appears below.

Figure 1
Panel A shows a transformation from liquid OGA solution to OGA-CMCS hydrogel. Panel B displays FTIR spectra with various transmittance lines. Panel C is a table showing CMCS and OGA concentration combinations. Panel D is a bar graph comparing gelation times with significant differences marked by asterisks. Panel E consists of SEM images of OGA-CMCS at different scales, showing porous structures.

Figure 1. Synthesis of OGA-CMCS hydrogel. (A) Vial tilt test (B) Fourier transform infrared spectra of CMCS, OGA, GA, and OGA-CMCS hydrogels. (C,D) Gelation times of OGA-CMCS hydrogels with different mixing ratios. (E) Microstructures of OGA-CMCS-1, OGA-CMCS-2, and OGA-CMCS-3 hydrogels.
