Congratulations on the launch! Would love to know (1) what’s the science like supporting this and (2) as a startup how do you guarantee the stems cells will still be around in 10/50 years?

We have an open source cord blood banking library if you'd like to take a look (https://anjahealth.notion.site/Cord-Blood-Banking-Library-60437afe8d314c96b2a059df5259fb65 https://anjahealth.notion.site/Cord-Blood-Banking-Library-60...) Highlights include real cases of cord blood being used to reverse type 1 diabetes (https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/240160#1 https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/240160#1), significantly improve symptoms of Chron's (https://www.dvcstem.com/post/stem-cell-crohns-case-study https://www.dvcstem.com/post/stem-cell-crohns-case-study), promote CAR-T cell therapy (https://www.cancertherapyadvisor.com/home/cancer-topics/hema https://www.cancertherapyadvisor.com/home/cancer-topics/hema...), treating neuroblastoma on a 7-year-old (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1357627/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1357627/), and more! Most notably, I like to point out that banking over donating is what we advocate for because using a donor's hematopoietic stem cells risks rejection and even fatality, so using a genetically related (or your own) stem cells increases your chances of survival (https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejm199708073370602 https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejm199708073370602) As a startup, we have a legal obligation to ensure that the CRM is handed off in case anything happens to the company. Our lab has been around for over 40 years processing different kinds of blood products, so they are definitely not going anywhere (and the blood products our clients stored wouldn't either), and they would simply communicate with a new CRM.
