Correction to: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-22132-z, published online 05 March 2018.

Christos C. Zouboulis was omitted from the author list in the original version of this Article.

The Author Contributions section now reads:

“C.T.N. and T.Y.K. conceived the study. C.T.N. performed experiments. C.T.N., S.K.S. and T.Y.K. analyzed data, edited the manuscript. C.T.N. wrote manuscript. C.C.Z. provided the human sebaceous gland cell line SZ95. All authors discussed the results and reviewed the manuscript.”

The Acknowledgements section now reads:

“This work was supported by the Bio and Medical Technology Development Program, the National Research Foundation (NRF) funded by Korean Government, The Republic of Korea, MSIP (Grant No. NRF-2016M3A9B6903020) and by the Ministry of Science, ICT & Future Planning (Grant No. NRF-2013M3A9A9050567), and the Industrial Technology Innovation program (10063322, Development of Animal Cell Culture based hEC-SOD for Management of Atopic Dermatitis) funded By the Ministry of Trade, industry & Energy.”

Additionally, the following reference was omitted:

As such, in the Methods section under the subheading ‘Cell culture’,

“The human HaCaT keratinocytes were purchased from Thermo Scientific (MA, USA) and SZ95 sebocytes were procured as a gift from Dr. Christos C. Zouboulis (Dessau Medical Center; Germany).”

now reads:

“The human HaCaT keratinocytes were purchased from Thermo Scientific (MA, USA) and SZ95 sebocytes were characterized as previously described47.”
