Solution Overview

Problem

Current therapeutics for inflammatory diseases often come with significant side effects, and there is a need for more effective treatments that can safely manage inflammation.

Innovation Solution

Compositions comprising mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) secretome preparations and cannabinoids, such as cannabidiol (CBD), are used to treat inflammatory conditions. The MSC secretome includes growth factors, extracellular vesicles, and exosomes, while cannabinoids like CBD have immunomodulatory effects.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional anti-inflammatory drugs (steroidal or non-steroidal) are used to treat inflammatory diseases, then inflammation is reduced, but significant side effects occur (e.g., increased blood glucose, liver toxicity, kidney failure, ulcers, bleeding)

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinflammation reduction effectivenessVSAvoidside effects on patient health
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses MSC secretome as an intermediary substance that mediates anti-inflammatory effects through multiple mechanisms including immunomodulation, promotion of tissue repair, and reduction of oxidative stress. This intermediary approach provides inflammation control while avoiding the direct toxic effects of conventional drugs on various organ systems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention combines MSC secretome with cannabinoids in a composite therapeutic formulation. This composite approach leverages the synergistic effects of both components - MSC secretome for immunomodulation and tissue repair, and cannabinoids for inflammation control - to achieve effective anti-inflammatory therapy with minimal side effects

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Object-affected harmful factors

If MSC secretome and cannabinoids are combined to treat inflammatory diseases, then inflammation is reduced with minimal side effects, but the treatment complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveside effectsVSAvoidtreatment composition complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges MSC secretome and cannabinoids into a single integrated therapeutic composition. This combination consolidates multiple therapeutic mechanisms (immunomodulation, anti-inflammatory, tissue repair) into one unified treatment, reducing the need for multiple separate medications and their associated side effects

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
