This Article contains errors in Figure 7, where panel E incorrectly shows muscle tissue, instead of liver tissue for ‘Liver’, ‘Untreated’ and ‘Lipodendriplexes’.

The correct Figure 7 and accompanying legend appear below.

Typical serum biochemical markers, erythrocytes aggregation and histopathological investigations of an untreated group and after i.v. administration of the complexes containing 10 μg of pDNA (dendriplexes and lipodendriplexes of DPPC: CH-PAMAM; liposome to PAMAM dendrimer mass ratio 0.5/1 with N/P ratio 12/1). (a) Liver function tests (LFTs) parameters including ALT, AST and ALP levels. (b) Renal function tests (RFTs) parameters including blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels. (c) Blood glucose, total bilirubin and total protein. (d) Ex vivo erythrocytes aggregation assay after treatment of complexes with 100 μl of erythrocytes suspension (2% v/v). Scale bar represents 20 μm. (e) H&E stained sections of vital organs from mice (heart, lungs, liver and kidney). All images were taken at × 40 magnification. Scale bar represents 20 μm. Values are represented as mean ± SD (n = 3) and statistical significances are indicated as **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
