Scientists studying chronic myeloid leukemia, more commonly known as CML, are one step closer to decoding the `genetic signature` of stem cells in this disease. They`ve identified a marker in a tiny but powerful subset of leukemia cells that could enable scientists to halt cancer cell growth in CML, and perhaps in other forms of cancer.
