The Author Contributions section now reads:

“H.T. synthesized and characterized the copolymers, evaluated the cytotoxicity of copolymers to proliferating cancer cells and normal cells, performed LDH leakage assay and cell imaging. K. Yumoto characterized the primary normal cells and dormant cancer cells, evaluated the cytotoxicity of copolymer to normal cells and dormant cancer cells, and prepared cell samples for SEM. K. Yasuhara performed the lipid vesicle assays. E.T.N. synthesized and characterized the copolymers. Y.K. supervised the assays using primary normal cells. L.B. devised and supervised the development of cell lines to monitor dormancy. R.S.T. devised the project and supervised the assays using dormant cancer cells. K.K. devised the project, helped with data analysis, and prepared the manuscript. All authors assisted with editing the manuscript.”
