The authors regret to inform that Figs.4,6,and 7 in the original article were wrongly selected.The corrected figures appear below:The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Fig.4.AFM and confocal characterization of DNA-NWs.(A) AFM imaging of DNA-NWs.(B) Confocal imaging of FITC-tagged CPT-loaded DNA-NWs.

Fig.6.Biocompatibility and cytotoxicity assay of blank and CPT-loaded DNA-NW.MTT assay of(A)biocompatibility of blank DNA-NWs and(B)cytotoxicity of CPT-loaded DNA-NWs compared with equivalent concentrations of free CPT solution.(C) Flow cytometry assessment of the biocompatibility of blank solution,DNA-NW solution,and the cytotoxicity of CPT-loaded DNA-NW.

Fig.7.Surface binding of DNA-NW loaded with FITC-tagged CPT to the human liver cancer cell line (HepG2) compared with the control cell line (CHSE-214) derived from the salmon embryo after a 30 min interval.(A) As HepG2 cells are rich in scavenger receptors,DNA-NW binds the cell surfaces followed by gradual internalization into the cells and release of FITC-tagged CPT into the cytoplasm.(B)As CHSE-214 cells lack scavenger receptors,DNA-NW could not bind these cells effectively,resulting in inferior cell internalization.
