Corrigendum to: Ling-Ling Pan, Wen-Jun Wu, Gao-Feng Zheng, Xiao-Yan Han, Jing-Song He and Zhen Cai. Ginkgetin inhibits proliferation of human leukemia cells via the TNF-α signaling pathway. Z. Naturforsch. 72c, aop. (DOI: 10.1515/znc-2016-0210):

For the reader’s convenience, the corrected text appears below.

1. Page 1: Abstract: chronic lymphoblastic leukemia (CLL) should be corrected as chronic myeloid leukemia

2. Page 1: Keywords: chronic lymphoblastic leukemia should be corrected as chronic myeloid leukemia

3. Page 1: The first paragraph of the Introduction should be replaced by following description: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), an acquired malignant myeloproliferative disorder of hematopoietic stem cells, is one of the three most common forms of leukemia. Leukemia accounted for some 352,000 new cases (2.5% of all new cancer cases) and for 265,000 deaths (3.2% of all deaths) in 2012 worldwide [1, 2]. Currently, an effective therapy for CML is still lacking. Thus, it is critical to develop a novel therapeutic agent that is more specific to CML [3, 4].

4. Page 2: 2.1 Cell culture: CLL should be corrected as CML

5. Page 5: Results subtitle – 3.5 CLL should be corrected as CML

6. Discussion part: There are four “CLL” in this part, and all CLL should be corrected as CML

7. Reference part: From the first reference to the fourth reference should be replaced by following:
