good night to pure life

if now life because I come to talk to you

of life life begins with a

cell that is formed from two

elements an ovule and a sperm

and these cells multiply and grow and

is developing the different lines

cell phones the embryologists that are the

scholars of this subject when this

is very tiny they manage to identify

three layers of cells and today

we can work with the cells of the

middle layer

these cells are the so-called

mesenchymal stem cells or

mesenchymal stem cells these cells

today we can get it and work

to prepare different types of tissues

good this photograph that you see

belongs to a graph of a pregnancy

of a baby of 12 weeks gestation

this baby of 12 weeks of gestation

already has all its parts has

practically all its organs

trained and that baby that you see in

that photograph is not any baby

it’s about the picture of my first grandchild or

granddaughter and at this moment goes of the week

15 of gestation will do in August

so I’m very excited about that

because it has to do precisely from

this of life

well this world is changing in

very important way and that too

It affects medicine when I was a child

the changes happened in ten years

today in what I used to see ten

years

today it happens in less than 1 when the

creators of the film go back to

future

in the eighties visualize the

hard they saw it with cars that were flying and

a series of very interesting things and that

future was 2015 already happened and what

happened it really was that they did not notice

that the tool of change was going to be

the internet and the big networks

that makes me able to sign today

here in front of you that the world is

flat is no longer round when a

researcher a and connoisseur of the

science deepens a knowledge and by

so it advances and publishes a breakthrough

immediately this is known to another

researcher that is on the other side the

world does not matter if it is here in san

josé or in santiago or if they are tokyo or

in paris

immediately that knowledge is

moved and helped him to take the step and

climb the step that was missing in your

development

this makes knowledge advance today

day exponentially

that is going to change radically too

how medicine is practiced all the

way I exercised my profession

the new doctors are going to have to

change radically because they are going to tell

with new diagnostic tools

and therapeutic knowledge

of the human genome will modify many

diagnostic elements and

treatment

today any of you or me

we could study our cen

own genome is a thing of a day

which in the past was unthinkable

on the other hand to mexico also a

new tool

this is a discovery because I was

from already in the bacteria

there are some strains of bacteria that

they have this crist crispe is a

biological tool that allows

Modify

and therefore you could dream that

in the future I will soon be able to

me with him chris perez correct a gene

damaged in some patient the year

2012

the yamanaka doctor who is well there

photography won the Nobel Prize

for having managed to make a cell

very specialized in our body a

skin cell undergoing a process

managed to make a pluripotent cell is

say with more power than those

mesenchymal stem cells that I

I mentioned at the beginning and that

knowledge is already transferred and the year

passed in santiago de chile are due to

a publication of a newspaper in which

the author solitude matus manages to do this

same process a pluripotent cell

but then subjected to a new process

and manages to regenerate a neuron in a

animal model therefore this is going to be

the future what is going to come and how

we will be able to regenerate tissues

so ultra specialized like that

I am a doctor from the old school and

representative of traditional medicine

all my life I have exercised my profession

in that sense I trained in france

91 92 years and I dedicated my expertise to

treat patients with this disease or

weaving is imperfect that corresponds to

a genetic disease what fails is

the gene that encodes the collagen of

bone

collagen is a protein

structural that gives resistance to

bone equivalent to iron in a pillar

of the construction that works in the

moves

well I dedicated myself for many

years to treat patients with those of

genes

these poor patients are invalid

they have a deformity of their skeleton

in the extremities in the column size

low but the effect of teething and

what I did was Harles enclave

bone channel with some nails grows

mers or telescopic and then with

this material inside the bone as it is

steel resistance bone changes

there are fewer fractures and if it is

fracture do not deform good in the

year 2000

I read a job from the Swedes of

karolinska institute

these gentlemen discover a mother who

is pregnant and the baby that is in

the belly of his mother

comes with this disease and then

after many deliberations the

Swedes do a transplant with

mesenchymal stem cells from sacchi

I mentioned him at the beginning in

uterus the baby from a healthy donor and

estévez rejects these cells

makes live with him and radically changes

the structure of the skeleton when they

they published this work

this baby was three years old and the

X-ray I saw of the skeleton

that had nothing to do with the

disease that I knew by heart from

the regions is imperfect in the year

2005

this happened to me but the jump

from the other side

ie you the same challenge is

santiago de chile a doctor friend and

obstetric colleague discovers that a baby

of a mother is pregnant the week

21 dinner and on the ultrasound as you see the

Deformity of the femur bone that shows

this disease and simulated studies and

we show that this is the this gene

it’s imperfect

then I communicated with the

Swedish researchers and they

They generously sent me back from

mail

the method of this work that we had

read me

the year 2000 and that means the step to

step was not easy

We had a hard time finding a series of

elements that were very complex to

us because we do not have the level of

development of sweden but we achieved it and

approximately after 30 days

can mount the whole operation and

then in the year in a couple of months and

we made this application

you see yesterday on the ultrasound and this

this video is happening when the

needle is pricking the umbilical vein

at the exit of the placenta which is a

fixed point

then there we aspire blood and that

blood from the fetal circuit is not from the

mother of the baby and at that point you

are going to see now how are we injecting

the blood cells of the pro

bloodstream of the baby

there are entering the cellulite in

clustered groups and capable ultrasound

to show the good

Estevez Maximiliano was born in August

2005 in August last turned 11

years

this radiography are from the moment of

estévez birth still see the

inculpations of bones product of

she fractured the tube in life

intrauterine

however this bone and its firm bone

it is already a bone that has a resistance

very different from the previous one and that’s why

the contribution that these cells made in

the construction of the bone

we have been able to make four other cases

here we also see Maximilian who

is the one who is sitting in the middle

soccer costume dress because he is

soccer fan

this led me also to know

other options of these cells and

applications and today I was able to

this same cell regenerate bones

joints meniscal cartilages and

ligaments etc. that is the paradigm

that you have to look in a different way

like the doctors we can go to

solve a problem to our

patients

why and if you put all these together

elements that I have given them as

visualization that are in a lot

tune with the same conferences

that you have heard today and

yesterday is that I see myself I dare to

affirm here and convinced until the

marrow from my bones and the baby that

born today will live 150 years as well as

it will be my grandson or my

granddaughter

thank you very much
