The Remarkable Science of Bone Marrow Transplants

For kids with blood diseases, bone marrow transplants can be an amazing tool for treatment — and sometimes, even a cure. Hopefully most of us will go through life never needing to know what a bone marrow transplant is. But what if the key to another kid's cure is in your very own blood? On this episode of Mayo Clinic Kids, we talk with pediatric hematologist and oncologist Dr. Mira Kohorst about this often-underappreciated part of our bodies and how bone marrow can change a kid's life.
