I go to as many of these procedures as I can, Nathan, and I always ask the same question afterwards.
I say, on a scale of 1 to 10, what would you rate this if 1 is no pain and 10 is painful?
And we are averaging a 2.
No, no, no.
It's really like an advanced blood draw.
So there's no scar whatsoever.
Um, the procedure itself probably takes five minutes.
Uh, but from the time you lay down on your side to the time that you leave, it's about 15.
Well, it's a little more than that because I mean, I don't want to undersell it because they do have to go into your bone to access your bone marrow.
No, it's just like, um, uh, it's a, uh, a true car.
a hollow chore card that goes into your bone.
And then, um, they take out 60 CCs of your bone marrow and we put it in a scent.
Well, then it gets shipped to our processing facility in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Okay.
Uh, we process the cells there, which is to say that we removed the red blood cells, uh, bring it down to temperature, freeze it, uh, uh, use dry ice to ship it to our biorepository, which is in Franklin, Massachusetts.
And we store them in liquid nitrogen.
Oh, well, hey, I'll welcome that compliment.
I'm a fan.
