The only cure for blood diseases like leukemia or anemia is often a bone marrow or stem cell transplant. But there is a stumbling block on the way for those who seek treatment. Relatives can’t always act as donors, so many patients rely on the kindness of complete, yet compatible, strangers. However, finding a match can be extremely difficult, and about 3-4 thousand people in Russia end up dying each year because they are unable to find a suitable donor. Is there any way to improve the situation?
