Great to hear more about this venture. I wish you the best of luck!

The practice of preserving cord blood is similar; is that basically the same idea? Is younger blood always better?

Yes. The concept is very similar, and there is actually a bit of overlap in potential applications. Cord blood is typically used to treat blood diseases, as there are hematopoetic stem cells in cord blood. In addition to mesenchymal stem cells, there are hematopoetic stem cells in marrow, which we store as well.
