Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for isolating and using stem cells from adipose tissue face challenges such as low productivity, limited understanding of cell composition, and the need for large cell quantities for therapeutic effectiveness, which increases costs and restricts their use in treating various diseases.

Innovation Solution

A high-productivity process for obtaining a multipotent and immunocompatible stem cell concentrate from vascularized adipose tissue, comprising immature stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, and pericytes, which can be used in smaller amounts for a variety of therapeutic treatments, including osteoarticular, muscular, neurological, and dermatological diseases, by optimizing cell culture and division processes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If stem cells are isolated and cultivated from adipose tissue using conventional methods, then stem cells can be obtained for therapy, but the productivity of multiplication processes is low compared to the needs of therapy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproductivity of multiplication processesVSAvoidamount of stem cells needed
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple cell types (mesenchymal stem cells, pericytes, and immature stem cells) into a single concentrate formulation. This merging of different cell populations with complementary functions achieves therapeutic effectiveness using smaller total cell quantities, thereby improving productivity efficiency without requiring large-scale cell multiplication

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a composite cell concentrate containing heterogeneous cell types (MSCs, pericytes, and immature stem cells) that work synergistically. This composite approach enhances therapeutic potency per cell, reducing the overall quantity needed and effectively resolving the productivity bottleneck

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If large amounts of stem cells are used to achieve effectiveness in therapies, then therapeutic outcomes are improved, but the cost of stem cell therapy increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic effectivenessVSAvoidamount of stem cells
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

By merging multiple cell types with different therapeutic functions into one concentrate, the patent achieves reliable therapeutic outcomes with reduced total cell numbers. The synergistic interaction between cell types enhances efficacy, allowing lower quantities to maintain or improve therapeutic reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Adaptability or versatility

If stem cells are used for treating various diseases, then the range of treatable conditions expands, but the understanding of stem cell composition is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverange of treatable diseasesVSAvoidunderstanding of stem cell composition
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by creating disease-specific or tissue-specific cell concentrates with optimized compositions. Different concentrates are formulated with specific ratios of pericytes, MSCs, and immature stem cells tailored to the therapeutic needs of different conditions, expanding versatility while maintaining compositional precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The invention utilizes parameter changes by adjusting the composition ratios and characteristics of the cell concentrate based on the target disease or tissue. This allows the same basic cell source to be adapted for multiple therapeutic applications, expanding the range of treatable conditions through controlled compositional variations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
