As of early 2026, the landscape for regenerative medicine has undergone a transformative shift, moving from a period of experimental storage to one of clinical accessibility. For individuals who have invested in stem cell banking, the bridge to active therapy is now open, supported by landmark state legislation and new domestic manufacturing capabilities.

Forget aging by accident. Forever Labs lets you bank your younger stem cells today to fuel your health tomorrow. Because when it comes to your biology, your best donor is a younger version of you.

Recent research in gerontology shows that injecting young bone marrow into older mice can increase their remaining lifespan by up to 39%. While these findings highlight the exciting potential of regenerative medicine for life extension, further study is needed to determine how these biological mechanisms translate to human aging.

Aren't iPS cells the future. When talking to friends, colleagues, and others about Forever Labs, those among them with a certain level of knowledge in the biosciences often turn the conversation to iPS cells.

What happens to your cells as they age. The answer is complex and imperfectly understood.

What is a stem cell anyway. As a biologist, and one who works with bone marrow stem cells in daily life, it’s easy to forget that to the general public, a ‘stem cell’ is not much more than an abstraction, a news-worthy meme that comes light on the details.

Bone marrow vs. adipose MSCs There is an ongoing debate among stem cell therapy proponents about what the best source of cells is.

New Studies Show How Donor Age Affects MSCs’ Disease Fighting Capabilities In the past, I’ve written that there is a strong suggestion that MSCs from older individuals are less likely than those from young ones to fight diseases, but that the evidence—though strong—is mainly circumstantial. However, two very recent studies have shown direct and convincing evidence that this is indeed the case.

Stanford University researcher Tony Wyss-Coray explores groundbreaking research into how young blood and cellular factors can potentially reverse the effects of aging on the human brain and body. This insight into regenerative medicine suggests that internal biological triggers may be the key to revitalizing cognitive health and physical longevity.

Do MSCs act exclusively on the immune system in neural injury. An interesting study came to my attention recently.

Why Your Own Cells Matter While donor products could offer temporary relief, your own cryopreserved stem cells can provide a lasting solution for tissue repair. By avoiding immune rejection, "self" cells can fully integrate and heal your body long-term. Learn why storing your youngest and most viable stem cells cells is your best healthcare asset.

Three Questions As CEO of Forever Labs, I attend as many of our stem cell collections as I can and I talk with many of our clients. The majority of people that are interested in storing their young-adult stem cells with us have the same three questions.

DigitalCulture.LA's Brittney Gallagher interviews Forever Labs co-founders Steven Clausnitzer and Mark Katakowski on Forever Labs co-founders on adult stem cell storage. The core message: Cryopreserve your healthy stem cells now to "lock in" their youthful vigor before they age, preparing for future medical needs.

Mary’s Forever Labs Story What is the Forever Labs procedure like? Mary, a health-conscious 35-year-old nurse, recently shared her Forever Labs stem cell collection experience at Davis & Pyle Plastic Surgery, in Raleigh, NC: https://www.dpraleigh.com/blog/mary-stem-cell-harvesting/ Thanks, Mary!

Mark Katakowski, President of Forever Labs, presents a Talk at Google on how stem cell rejuvenation could potentially increase human life expectancy by restoring the function of aging

Young donor stem cells improve frailty in a clinical trial: What if they had their own younger cells. In my last blog post, I discussed our plan to transplant our own younger mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to our older selves for the purposes of rejuvenation.

Mark Katakowski and Steven Claustnitzer interviewed on Aaron Watson's Going Deep podcast Forever Labs President Mark Katakowski & CEO Steven Clausnitzer discuss the benefits and rationale of stem cell storage with Aaron Watson: http://www.goingdeepwithaaron.com/podcast/262-why-you-should-freeze-your-stem-cells-today-according-to-dr-mark-katakowski-steven-clausnitzer-of-forever-labs Steven’s Challenge; Find someone over the age of 70 and ask them if they’d be interested in accessing their 35 year old biology. Mark’s Challenge; Be mindful of your physical existence and your body’s natural processes.

Transplanting young stem cells extended old mice's lifespan by 28%, suggesting a path to human rejuvenation.
