Five-year-old Sun Lexuan, from China, is critically ill with the rare blood disorder, aplastic anaemia. Her parents made the decision to conceive her younger sister, Sun Yiwei, so that the umbilical cord blood could be used as treatment.
A new and unique study by Stem Cells Translational Medicine shows noticeable improvements in socialisation in children with autism, when they were treated with their own cord blood stem cells.
London based Ainara Moreno unfortunately didn't have the opportunity to store her son Asier’s umbilical cord blood at birth, but milk tooth storage offered a perfect second chance to help protect Asier's future health.
