Longeveron Wins $6.7 Million in Grant Funding, Including a $750,000 MSCRF Award
Longeveron LLC is a regenerative medicine company developing cellular solutions for aging-related diseases. The company is focused on the development of allogeneic (donor-derived) human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that are harvested and grown at its manufacturing facility in Miami, Florida.
Longeveron’s MSC (LMSC) product is derived from the bone marrow of young, healthy adult donors.
In addition to manufacturing its own cells in this cGMP facility, Longeveron is conducting clinical trials and manufacturing cells for other parties through its cell therapy CMO business.

Forever Labs, Is It Worth $7,000 to Save Cells from Your Younger Self?
Forever Labs is one of the first companies worldwide to offer stem cell storage for adults. Interestingly, there is a prolific market for the storage of newborn tissues, including umbilical cord blood, umbilical tissue, and placental blood and tissue.
However, storage for stem cells from adult sources, including fat (adipose) tissue and bone marrow, is extremely limited.
The company was founded, because the management team believes stem cell therapies will be ubiquitous in the future, and when your time of need comes, your ideal donor will be your younger self.
Are you interested to store your stem cells before you (and they) get too old?
If so, read on to enjoy this interview with Dr. Mark Katakowski, Ph.D., President and Chief Scientific Officer of Forever Labs. In it, we explore his background, the mission of Forever Labs, and the importance of storing young adult stem cells.
