We've made a few hits, a few, I think, embryonic discoveries.

You all know about embryonic stem cells.

So, embryonic stem cells are really incredible cells.

Mortality

These factors are extremely important for the efficiency of deriving ES cells.

17 fatalities.

4 fatalities.

Mortality Statistics.

Sources of deaths

These embryos can be harvested for patient matching embryonic stem cells.

So I've studied a lot about stem cells embryonic stem cells are particularly powerful.

Deaths in detention

2. Mortality and fertility

Coroner's office.

But the moral controversy surrounding embryonic stem cells the fact that these cells are derived from five day old human embryos has encouraged research into other types of stem cells.

Mortality Rates and Causes of Death

Regional death statistics

Teratoma is the most common type of fetal tumor, and usually is benign.

Fetal cells have been documented to persist and multiply in the mother for several decades.

After giving birth, about 50 75 of women carry fetal immune cell lines.

Existing regional financial arrangements among developing countries are in an embryonic stage.

They're a lot like embryonic stem cells except without the controversy.

So each of these right here are embryonic stem cells, and

As of November 2012, it was deemed to be still in the embryonic stage of development.

In animals it is necessary to ensure that the inserted DNA is present in the embryonic stem cells.

In utero Fetal tumors are sometimes diagnosed while still in utero.

Infection in swine is asymptomatic, except in pregnant sows, when abortion and fetal abnormalities are common sequelae.

The brain is born immature and it adapts to sensory inputs after birth.

Their numbers have never recovered.

Remarkable impact on mortality.

I caught babies, I pronounced people dead,

So the debate obviously is when you start an embryonic stem cell line, you are destroying an embryo.

Embryonic stem cells have occupied center stage, chiefly because of their pluripotency that is their ease in differentiating into a variety of different cell types.

Malign neoplasm were causes of death in 17.5 per cent of cases, injuries and poisonings, 3.2 per cent, and diseases of the digestive system 2.7 per cent.

The maternal mortality rate has been falling over the years.

Reducing mortality in childhood

The mortality was better than I expected.

And two tools helped bring the death rate down.

And so that's why the death rate did come down.

The death rates fell 47 percent.

Mortality is not going down, it's going up.

Geron, just last year, started the first trial using human embryonic stem cells to treat spinal cord injuries.

They all came from one unique embryonic stem cell or what initially was a blastomere.

From these they calculate excess deaths above a death rate interpolated between pre and post Leap death rates.

Mortality 300,000 people dying each year.
