Find out how scientists are attempting to use stem cells to repair the immune system of children born with severe combined immuno-deficiency (SCID) or bubble boy disease!

This video was produced in collaboration with Americans For Cures and explains how stem cell research, funded by California's Proposition 71: the California Stem Cell Research and Cures Initiative, is leading to groundbreaking advances in SCID.

This video was produced as part of the Americans for Cures Foundation’s Report Back to the Public program. For more information about stem cells, check out the new Americans for Cures website, Facebook, YouTube, or Twitter accounts.
