The original version of the Article contained an error in Figure 6. Due to an operational error, images in Figure 6K intended for the PMA group were erroneously duplicated and placed in the position designated for the DC05 group. The original data confirms that the DC05 group sample possesses its own distinct image. Similarly, an error occurred during layer manipulation in Figure 6M, where the LC3/P62 image belonging to the si-NC group was incorrectly copied to the position representing the si-GAL8 group.

The original Figure 6 and accompanying legend appear below.
