This news is very interesting because it's about health which I like to read. I always want to know about our world's improving, so "blood stem cell transplant hopes lifted" in BBC News can tell me about this.
In this article, the writer said that there is a new method for patients who have diseases such as leukaemia. In the past, the patients use stem cell from donor. It may be not match and the patient's body rejects it. The new method is using core cell which get form baby. It can match with everyone, but it still has two disadvantages. First, the core cell is not enough for every patients. Second, although the core cell can expand itself in laboratory, the core cell will become simple cell which cannot expand itself.
I think it's very interesting. Although this method still has a limitation, it's more useful than the old method. It can help people who cannot find the match stem cell. In the old method, patients stays with hope that they will receive the stem cell on a day. In the new method, if they really need at that time, they can use it.
