TLDR The correction does not change the conclusion that 2-deoxy-D-ribose helps hair regrowth.

This corrigendum addresses an error in the original article regarding the stimulation of hair regrowth in an animal model of androgenic alopecia using 2-deoxy-D-ribose. The error involved incorrect error bars in a data graph related to skin color scores. The authors have corrected Figure 2 and clarified that this mistake does not alter the scientific conclusions of the study. The research involved C57BL/6 mice and compared various treatments, including testosterone, minoxidil, and 2-deoxy-D-ribose, over a 21-day period. The correction ensures accurate representation of the data without affecting the study's findings on hair regrowth.
