The History of Stem Cell Research
In 1988 the first successful cord blood stem cell transplant was carried out on a 5 year old boy with Fanconi's Anaemia. He was given a 0% chance of survival without a cord blood stem cell transplantation. After the transplantation he made a full recovery and he is alive and well today. Since that date, the number cord blood transplants has increased to over 6000.
Reports and investigations highlight the success of cord blood transplantation
There have been many reports and investigations which highlight the success of cord blood transplantation in the treatment of a broad range of disorders, including immune deficiencies, bone marrow problems and many inherited diseases.
Looking to the future, every day exciting discoveries are announced about the potential of stem cells to treat a variety of diseases including Multiple Sclerosis, Diabetes and various Cancers. The government has already funded a lot of this research and announced in the 2005 Budget a �2.5 Billion investment over the next 10 years.
