Why it matters

Reservoir turns Cellino's cell-handling expertise toward a consumer service, asking customers to pay thousands now for cells whose future medical value is uncertain. Its price, custody promises and explicit limits on therapeutic claims define the bet.

Nabiha Saklayen (@nabihasaklayen) introduced Reservoir on October 15th, a Cellino-built service that charges $4,995 to collect and preserve a customer's immune cells. The launch thread on X framed the offer as access to a kind of biological storage that Saklayen said had been available to the wealthy; Reservoir sells the collection, processing and first year of storage as a single consumer package.
