About this Podcast:

What does it mean to lose something as valuable as our own DNA? That’s one of the many questions in Lost Cells , a gripping investigative podcast series that uncovers the human stories behind the promises and failures of high-tech health solutions. In Spain, a former journalist with a terminal illness searches desperately for his daughter’s stem cells, hoping they can save his life. In Serbia, a family’s plans to help their daughter through cutting-edge research collapse when the promises of the Cryo-Save stem cell bank are broken. Meanwhile, from Switzerland to the United States, a team of journalists works to uncover the truth behind these failures. This trilingual series, available in English, Spanish and French, explores the global impact of Cryo-Save’s collapse. Lost Cells is a story of vulnerability, hope, and the ethical challenges of stem cell research. It takes listeners into the heart
