In the published article, there was an error in Figures 5A and 5D (FACS panel of Th0 & Th1; and Th0 & Th2) as published. The FACS images in Figures 5A and 5D (Th0 & Th2 panel) were originally generated by Upasna Madan, a graduate student, as part of a broader project investigating the in vitro immunomodulatory effects of eight herbal extracts. Initially, all experiments were conducted with multiple biological and technical replicates, intending to publish the findings in a single manuscript. However, during analysis, we determined that presenting the data in multiple manuscripts, each focusing on a specific herbal extract, would be more effective.

During this segmentation process, representative control images from the FACS analysis were inadvertently reused in two different manuscripts (PMID: 36960064 & PMID: 37765142). Since each experiment included multiple control replicates, we are in the process of replacing the affected control FACS plots. Importantly, as these FACS plots pertain only to control conditions, their replacement does not alter the overall findings, interpretations, or conclusions of either manuscript.
The corrected Figures 5A and 5D, Th0 & Th2 panel and its caption appear below.
The authors regret this oversight and affirm that it does not impact the scientific conclusions of the article. The original article has been updated accordingly.
