Just found this article interesting so thought id share it.

"Using a high-throughput cell-based screen to assess the effects of avocatin B on human leukemia stem cells, the researchers found the compound selectively targets and destroys them while leaving healthy blood cells unscathed."

 

They mention AML in the article, but i wonder if it would have simular capabilities in CML.

Lots of natural substances can inhibit disease. I did not see any mention of CML in any of the research.
