For listeners and viewers out there, who is this really for? What type of future uses are we talking about? Is it cosmetic? Is it medical? Is it longevity? And what type of person should be doing this? It's a fantastic question. And I'm going to try to keep it a concise answer, because honestly, there's a lot of different avenues where this is going to go. We've already seen the creation of applications using our own cryopreserved hair follicles in the world of aesthetic medicine. And so we recently launched and released the first opportunity to leverage your bank cells, which is actually capturing your hair follicle cells, your very own, and growing them in our laboratory. As they grow in the laboratory, we actually capture all of the molecules that are released from those cells as they're growing. And so this includes large matrix molecules, like collagen, and elastin, fibernextin, and agrican, as well as small growth factor proteins, like PDGF, a number of factors like IGF1 can go on with a very long list, VGF, but ultimately the things that stimulate our cells to grow, divide, and create matrix, or the things that create our skin and other connective tissues. And then on top of that, exosomes and cells are released. | ↗ |
