    Induction of apoptosis in chronic myelogenous leukemia cells through nuclear entrapment of BCR–ABL tyrosine kinase

    The chimeric BCR–ABL oncoprotein is the molecular hallmark of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). BCR–ABL contains nuclear import and export signals but it is localized only in the cytoplasm where it activates...
