  • Bone Marrow Transplants in Kids

    This story focuses on one child who received a transplant from an unrelated donor. Her story highlights how treatment for childhood diseases such as aplastic anemia and leukemia has improved dramatically in recent years.

  • Headaches and Sleep Problems in Kids

    If you have a school-age or teenage child, you know how tough it can be to make sure they get enough sleep. And a new study from Mayo Clinic shows that kids who get headaches lose even more sleep than those who don't. That's because headaches and sleep problems tend to go hand in hand.

  • Heart Murmurs in Children

    Most childhood heart murmurs are not dangerous; in fact, almost all children will have them at some point. But if the murmur sounds suspicious -- like there might be a problem -- doctors use a high-tech but painless test to find out.

  • Pediatric Brain Cancer

    Brain cancer is one of the most common cancers in children, second only to leukemia. But unlike leukemia, the genes that cause pediatric brain cancer continue to be somewhat of a mystery to researchers. They don't know why some tumors just don't respond to treatment. Doctors at Mayo Clinic are working hard to find the genes responsible for tumor growth in hopes of one day finding an easier cure for patients like the 15-year-old you're about to meet.

  • Teens Help Kick the Habit

    Kicking the habit isn't easy. Most smokers who try to quit aren't successful until their fifth attempt. Researchers at Mayo Clinic are hoping to make quitting easier for adults by getting the smokers' teenage kids involved in the process.
