Duke researchers say that developments in cord blood transplants may help babies to be treated while still in the womb for metabolic disorders.
"The idea is to give the baby cord blood stem cells from a healthy donor that have the potential to provide healthy genes that can replace the ones that aren't working properly in the baby's own cells," says Kurtzberg.
The selected cord blood donor cells will be manufactured by Aldagen, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company in Durham.
