Abstract
Correction on: by de Oliveira SA, da Silva AAS, Hinton BT, Gomes GF, Cunha TM, Cerri PS, Sasso-Cerri E. SARS-CoV-2 exploits steroidogenic machinery, triggers lipid metabolism for viral replication and induces immune response in Leydig cells of K18-hACE2 mice. Front Cell Infect Microbiol. 2025 May 27;15:1538461. doi: 10.3389/fcimb.2025.1538461.In the published article, information was missing regarding the ethical documentation and source of the human tissue sample used in Figure 1F.A correction has been made to the Ethics Statement section: "This study utilizes a human testicular tissue photomicrograph (Figure 1) obtained from a histological slide provided by IPC Medicina Diagnóstica (Araraquara, SP, Brazil). Ethics committee approval was not required according to local legislation (Brazilian National Health Council Resolution CNS 466/2012) because the material consists solely of a de-identified (anonymous) archival sample, with no possibility of identifying the donor."The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
