Listen to our new investigative podcast on the realities of private stem cell banking.

In the third episode of Lost Cells we hear from Tatiana and Ratko, who are preparing to move their frozen stem cells, but things dont go as planned. The parents start to wonder if the company storing their childs cord blood will be able to fulfill its promises.

Other families around Europe also begin asking questions about their cells, and where and how theyre being stored. Whats happening behind the doors of this high-tech institution in Switzerland? Find out now in episode three of Lost Cells.

A private stem cell, or cord blood, bank is a facility that stores these important, foundation cells for the human body. Parents pay to bank cord blood from a babys birth in the hope of using the cells in a potential future medical treatment.
