A study published in The American Journal of Chinese Medicine revealed that a compound called berberine induces cell death in leukemia cells. In this study, the subcellular localization and the apoptotic mechanisms of berberine were investigated.
In conclusion, these findings suggest that berberine can induce cell death in leukemia cells immediately after administration.
