Because as stated in the research above it was kept in serum. I don't know about you but the environment i live in has very little human cell compatible serum

I don't think the 10 year part is right. After one year 96% of people haven't had a failure. By year two 96% of those remaining so it goes 0.96^10 = 0.66 or 34% failure rate in 10 years in your worst case and 0.98^10 = 0.82 or 18% for your best case.

Reply to comment by provocative_bear in We know about viruses, bacteria and other microorganisms evolving to better infect other organisms. Consequently, diseases change too to some extent. Are there any examples of human bodies evolving to fight against these disease causing agents? by ha_ha_ha_ha_hah
Similarly Cystic Fibrosis is thought to have stuck around as being a carrier makes you significantly more likely to survive a cholera infection.

Reply to comment by cshaiku in ELI5 - What are calls/puts in stock trading, and how are returns calculated when they are executed? by burman07
A call is basically an option to buy eg 1 share of ACME corporation at the price of $10 on or before a certain date. If the market price goes above $10 you would want to use the option to buy at $10 and then sell immediately at the higher market price.
