Researchers Discover How Myelogenous Leukaemia Stem Cells Obtain Their Nutrients

I am very grateful that scientists are still interested in finding out more about cml. Since we now have so many drugs to control it, it would be understandable if scientists diverted their research to other diseases which are not yet manageable.
Yes i agree, luckily they are making progress on CML as well.
With the sales of TKI`s generating so much revenue, i guess the incentive for developing new drugs will always be there. The article posted here seems to point to a an antibiotic already FDA approved (cefadroxil), so im not sure if the big medical companies would want to pursue this? At least this research seems to help solve another piece of the CML puzzle, and i hope it will be pursued more, and maybe taken to human trials at some point. Maybe they can create an even more potent version of this in the future, aimed for CML treatment. Who knows :)
