Meh, we did pretty much the same thing ~2 years ago (in a large corporate lab in Europe), but still it wasn’t profitable enough to keep the project alive. Even though we could manufacture on scale. Besides, getting the cells stable was actually the hardest bit.
So please, don’t get excited by yet-another academic proof-of-concept. BTW, lifetime of our stuff was predicted to be, as far as I remember, 10-20 years.
