A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11903974B2) discloses a method for enhancing the metabolic function of a target cell or tissue by delivering a pharmaceutical composition containing isolated chondrisomes derived from cultured cells. The method involves a series of steps including dissociating cells, separating subcellular compositions, and suspending the chondrisome-enriched fraction in a solution to prepare a chondrisome preparation. This composition is intended for in-vivo delivery in human subjects and has shown promising results in decreasing serum cholesterol levels and triglycerides, as well as increasing cardiac function.

The patent claims cover various aspects of the method, including the use of chondrisomes in injured states of target cells or tissues, the persistence of chondrisomes in the target area for at least 6 hours, and their impact on mitochondrial permeability transition pore formation and Akt levels. The method also addresses the internalization of chondrisomes into target tissues, the selection of target tissues or cells from different systems in the body, and the potential applications for subjects at risk for various disorders. Additionally, the patent discusses the use of genetically engineered chondrisomes, loaded with cargo agents, and the administration of the composition to enhance the function of the target cells or tissues without triggering an unwanted immune response. Overall, the patent highlights the innovative approach of utilizing chondrisomes to improve metabolic function and offers a potential therapeutic strategy for a range of medical conditions.
