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. Not only does this benefit those who suffer from sickle cell anemia, but this could lead the way to curing other diseases as well.
