A Duke University clinical trial has led to great news in the treatment of brain damage – with cord blood cells. Take a look at this video from CBS Evening News about a couple who stored their child’s cord blood at birth, and are now using it to treat the brain damage the child suffered during birth. Dr. Joanne Kurtzberg, Blood and Marrow Transplantation Director at Duke, reported that some children who have undergone cord blood re-infusion for brain injury are developing more skills than they otherwise would have.
