For the first time ever there was a successful bone marrow transplant that cured sickle cell disease. The Los Angeles Times reports that, “In a study of 10 adults with the blood disease, the procedure cures nine.” This is a huge advancement that could possibly cure more than 70,000 Americans that suffer from the disease.
