There were errors in Mass Spectrometry 13: A0145 (2024).
The authors would like to call the reader’s attention to the fact that in the original version of this article, unfortunately figure captions were wrongly described. In Figs. 2 and 4, “a.u., astronomical unit” should read as “a.u., arbitrary unit”.

Fig. 2. Permeation of moisturizing components in artificial membranes at RT or 37°C for 24 and 72 h. (A–D) The distribution of the humectants in the membrane: glycerol at (A) RT and (B) 37°C, and panthenol at (C) RT and (D) 37°C. Glycerol has penetrated the dermis after 24 h of penetration treatment. (E and F) Comparison of the peak intensities of the (E) glycerol and (F) panthenol in the artificial membranes at RT and 37°C. The peak intensities of both compounds were significantly higher at 37°C than those at RT, but there was no difference due to the permeation time. *p scale <0.05, scale bar: 25 μm. a.u., astronomical unit; MSI, mass spectrometry imaging; PES, polyethersulfone; RT, room temperature.
Fig. 4. Penetration of moisturizing components into artificial membranes 18 and 36 h after treatment with surgical gloves coated with moisturizing components at RT. (A) Distribution of glycerol from the surgical gloves to the membrane. After 18 h of treatment, most of the distribution was near the PES2, and at 36 h, the distribution ranged from the PES2 to the polyolefin. (B) Comparison of peak intensities. The peak intensity was significantly higher at 36 h than that at 18 h. *p <0.05, scale bar: 25 μm. a.u., astronomical unit; MSI, mass spectrometry imaging; PES, poly ethersulfone; RT, room temperature.
