In the original publication of this article, Panels E and F of Figure 7 and Panel B of Figure S7 appeared incorrectly. Specifically, the position of the images for the “Puncture + N-Exos” group (E) and the “NC” group (F) were switched; the misplaced for GAPDH band of Panel B in Figure S7. Panels E and F in Figure 7 and GAPDH band of Panel B in Figure S7 have been corrected in the online version of the article and appear below for reference.
