Spina bifida affects 1,500 to 2,000 children in the United States every year. While fetal surgery has greatly improved outcomes since it was introduced more than a decade ago, many children still struggle with mobility and have other long-term complications.

Our CuRe Trial just hit a new major milestone! The research team safely performed the world's first spina bifida treatment that combines fetal surgery with stem cells, offering new hope for children with the lifelong condition. Image: Diana Farmer in surgery.
