Other families around Europe also begin asking questions about their cells, and where and how they’re being stored. What’s 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 baby’s birth in the hope of using the cells in a potential future medical treatment.
