CCL01, a novel formulation composed of Cuscuta seeds and Lactobacillus paracasei NK112, enhances memory function via nerve growth factor-mediated neurogenesis (vol 12, pg 10690, 2021)

Abstract

The authors wish to clarify that the species of Cuscuta seeds were incorrectly identified in this paper as C. chinensis and C. japonica. The correct species should be C. australis and C. japonica. Where the abbreviation CC is referred to, this should read CA. Consequently, sections of text in the manuscript should be adjusted to clarify this error. In the introduction, the sentence beginning As potential ingredients the phrase NK112 (NK112), Cuscuta chinensis Lam. seeds (CC) and C. japonica Choisy seeds (CJ)should read NK112 (NK112) and Cuscuta seeds. The sentences beginning CC is reported to ameliorate scopolamine-induced and CJ was demonstrated to enhance memory should read Cuscuta seeds are reported to ameliorate scopolamine-induced memory impairment, enhance memory in normal mice, and protect synapses in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer s disease.12,13,14In the sentence beginning In this study the phrase by mixing NK112, CC, and CJshould read by mixing NK112 and Cuscuta seeds. In the Materials and methods section, the first sentence on the preparation of CCL01 should be correctly given as Cuscuta australis R. Br. seeds (CA) were purchased from the Jungdo Herbal Drug Co. Ltd (Guri, Gyeonggi, Republic of Korea) and Cuscuta japonica Choisy seeds (CJ) were purchased from Cheon-ji-ga Herb (Seoul, Republic of Korea).In the discussion, the sentence beginning Similarly, we had , CC, CJ and NK112should read NK112 and Cuscuta seeds. The sentence beginning Meanwhile, CC annenuates should be correctly given as Meanwhile, extracts of Cuscuta species seeds attenuated scopolamine-induced memory impairment, cholinergic dysregulation, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation. 12. The sentence beginning These characteristics of CC should be correctly given as These characteristics of Cuscuta seeds are important to alleviate general memory decline with various causes.The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers. © The Royal Society of Chemistry.
