Correction to: Nature Biomedical Engineering https://doi.org/10.1038/s41551-024-01186-7, published online 15 March 2024.

In the version of this article originally published, grey level contrasts in scanning electron micrographs in Figs. 1b,f, 3b and 6c were incorrect. In addition, in Fig. 5b, the four immunofluorescence images for the DNAse I group were off-centre and hence not representative. These images have been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
