61. The role of king is played by a special cluster of embryonic cells known as the embryonic germ cells. 62. The University of Wisconsin scientist who isolated these embryonic cells patented his discovery and turned the patent over to the foundation. 63. The university got a patent and Geron got the exclusive commercial rights to therapies based on six types of cells made from the embryonic cells. 64. Treatments involving injection of fetal cells have shown some promise, but embryonic cells would in many ways be preferable. 65. To justify his ideological cruelty, the president wrapped himself in exaggerated moral absolutes, equating embryonic cell clusters with breathing, flesh-and-blood mortals. 66. When embryonic cells are covered with hCG, they acquire a strong negative charge. 67. West said the advantage of the Advanced Cell Technology method was that embryonic cells derived from the patient being treated would generate entirely compatible tissues. 68. When a fetus starts to develop from embryonic cells, a pocket of the cells is set aside so they can later generate the eggs or sperm. 69. Whether driven by private funds here or by the investment of public money by foreign governments, embryonic cells will be used to achieve breakthroughs to cures. 70. When the mouse version of MAP cells are injected into a mouse embryo, they help form all the tissues of the body, just as embryonic cells do. |
