This Article contains errors.


In Figuer 4, the image for control BT474 cells, after pulsed field, was inadvertently duplicated from the control BT474 cells, no field, condition. A corrected version of Figure 4 and its accompanying legend appear below.


In addition, for Supplementary Figure S12, the images for MCF10A cells, field only; MDA-MB-231 cells, MNP only; and MDA-MB-231 cells, MNP and field treatment, are incorrect. A corrected version of Supplementary Figure S12 and its accompanying legend appear below.


These errors do not affect the conclusions of the Article.

LMP detection using acridine orange in SMNP-treated MDA-MB-231, BT474 and MCF10A cells before and after pulsed field exposure. Cells were incubated with PAA-P85-SMNP for 24 h at 37 °C, washed and exposed to the 50 Hz pulsed AC magnetic field. (50 kA/m). After three hours, cells were incubated with 10 μg/mL acridine orange for 15 min. Positive control cells were treated with 150 μM hydrogen peroxide for three hours. The cells exposed to hydrogen peroxide exhibit loss of punctate red fluorescence while negative controls and cells treated with SMNPs do not.
