Abstract

The publisher regrets that in the original publication, due to an inadvertent typographical error introduced during the proof process, the disclosure statement in the foot note is incorrect. It should read as follows: “Given the role as a Guest editor Tejraj M. Aminabhavi had no involvement in the peer-review of this article and has no access to information regarding its peer-review. Full responsibility for the editorial process for this article was delegated to Laura Clarizia”. This inadvertent error was solely made by the publisher, and the authors bear no responsibility for it. The publisher would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused. © 2025 Elsevier Ltd
