RESEARCHERS in Australia have discovered a new way to kill cancer cells in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), one of the most aggressive and hard to treat forms of blood cancer.

The team found that AML cells, especially stem cells that drive relapse, rely on a common molecule called heme to survive and keep multiplying. When this process is blocked, the cancer cells die through a newly identified form of cell death known as cuproptosis, according to a statement of Australia’s Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre yesterday.
