Reservoir banks immune cells

Reservoir launched a service that lets people preserve their immune cells for potential future use.

  • Built by cell manufacturing company Cellino, the service isolates the cells from a standard blood draw, freezes them, and stores them with oversight from licensed physicians.
  • Reservoir is launching through partner clinics in major markets, including Boston, New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, with at-home appointments rolling out in select areas.

As cell therapies and precision medicine advance, Reservoir is betting that preserving your biology today could create possibilities down the road.

Lume launches continuous hormone tracker

The health tech company launched its sweat-based hormone tracker at TechCrunch 2026, with a full launch targeted for 2027.

Lume’s sensor attaches to devices people already wear, including Apple Watch and Fitbit. While hormone tests typically capture a single moment through blood or saliva samples, Lume connects daily fluctuations in cortisol with sleep, exercise, and stress, with estrogen and progesterone planned next.

Amassing a 25K-person waitlist, it could add a new layer of biological data to the wearables people already use.

Aescape launches the Brady Protocol

Aescape teamed up with Tom Brady on a 30-minute deep-tissue massage session built around the recovery practices that supported his 23-season career.

The Brady Protocol targets the posterior chain, from the calves to the traps, using Aescape’s robotic system to map each person’s body and tailor the session.

For Aescape, the launch turns a recognizable athlete’s recovery philosophy into a repeatable product available across its network. It also gives consumers a more accessible entry point into personalized bodywork, without requiring a professional athlete’s recovery team.
