A Twofold Miracle: Cord Blood
The miracle of childbirth also has the potential to offer a miracle of another kind-a cure for cancer. Umbilical cord blood is rich with healing stem cells that can cure leukemia. Dr. Colleen Delaney has developed a way to multiply cord blood stem cells 150-fold, making cord blood transplants a viable treatment for desperately ill patients, including those of mixed ethnicity who often have difficulty finding a matching donor. Join her as she talks about this ground-breaking research, and how it is saving lives.
When:
