Groundbreaking Transplant at the U of M

Dr. John Wagner, a University of Minnesota cord blood specialist, holds a sleeping Adam Nash. His sister, Molly Nash, was born with Fanconi anemia, an often-fatal genetic disease. She received a transplant from Adam's umbilical cord blood on September 26, 2000. Twenty-one days later a bone marrow test reveals that the transplant is working and Molly's blood and bone marrow are carrying Adam's cells. (U of M Photo/Mark Engebretson)
